The greatest portion of tornado deaths results from flying debris. Everyday objects and building materials can be turned into deadly projectiles by a strong tornado. Others may die as buildings collapse on them.
In weak tornadoes, which are not often deadly, may cause deaths through toppling trees and other heavy objects or overturning trailers.
In some cases people may be picked up and thrown by the winds of a tornado.
Occasionally there are unusual cases, as tornadoes have been known to do strange things. One man was found impaled on the lid of a washing machine after a tornado destroyed his home.
