The actual amount of damage can vary considerably. Typical EF1 damage might include severe damage to roofs with some poorly secured roofs torn off. Gutters and awnings are taken down and some windows may break. Some barns, garages, and outbuildings may be destroyed. Trailer homes are likely to be badly damaged or overturned. Many trees may be downed. Note that the rating of a tornado is based on the most severe damage it causes. Many EF1 tornadoes cause mostly EF0 damage with perhaps one or two buildings suffering EF1 damage. In terms of the amount, damage can range from a few downed trees or a single damaged home to many dozens of homes damaged. Damage costs are often in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars, but can reach into the millions on occasion.

The severity of the damage will depend on the strength of the tornado.

How much damge for a 45 mph tornado?

Should you open a window during a tornado?
No, this myth originated by people under the impression that allowing the pressure to equalize as a tornado passes would reduce the damage. In reality, the difference in pressure between the center of a tornado and elsewhere is not great enough to do much damage, and opening windows will allow the wind to come in and do much more damage than it would otherwise be able to.
