Countless thousands. Every year many tornadoes stay in open fields and never hit any structures. The actual number of these tornadoes is unknown as many are probably never reported.
There were 1692 confirmed tornadoes last year of which at least 1492 caused some damage.
The cost of damage from tornadoes in the United States in 2012 is $1.6 billion, or 1,600 million. Data for other countries is not available.
Tornadoes caused 44 deaths in the U.S. in 2010 and an unknown number worldwide.
No. While many tornadoes have caused an incredible amount of destruction, they are not given names.
That would be highly unlikely. Trees do not stop tornadoes and many tornadoes have gone through forests.
There were at least 59 tornadoes on Oklahoma on May 3, 1999, with more tornadoes affecting other states.
Nearly 41 million people are killed in tornadoes per year.
Secondary succession follows tornadoes, if there is any succession. Tornadoes can bring down many trees and damage vegetation, but they generally leave the soil intact.
How much damage a tornado causes depends on how strong it is, how big it is, how far it travels and where it hits. The weakest tornadoes are rated EF0, capable of peeling shingles, toppling some trees, and destroying weak sheds and outbuildings. The strongest tornadoes, rated EF5, will wipe well-built houses clean off their foundations. Tornadoes range in width from just a few yards to over a mile. Obviously a very wide tornado will cause damage across a larger area than a narrow one. Similar, a tornado that travels far will cover more ground. This damage potential is increased by the fact that large, long-lived tornadoes tend to be strong ones. Finally, where a tornado hits is important. Many tornadoes have stayed in open fields and never caused any damage because they didn't hit anything. Many of large, long track tornadoes have stayed in rural areas have had their damage limited to a few farms. In the worst cases, however, tornadoes have destroyed entire towns and large swaths of cities, leaving thousands homeless.
More often property is damaged. Many if not most of the 1,200 tornadoes that occur in the United States each year cause some sort of damage. This amounts to thousands of people having their property damage or destroyed. But only about 60 deaths result from those same tornadoes.
the answer to this question is easy no simple! It hit America in 2008 to be correct and caused a lot of damage for more info go on Google!
On average tornadoes cause 60 deaths and and about $500 million dollars in damage each year.
