It depends on the tornado. Most tornadoes are weak and don't last long. These tornadoes snap weak trees, break glass and damage roofs

Some of these tornadoes carve damage paths over a mile, or even two miles wide.

A "double tornado" is scientifically known as a multiple vortex or multivortex tornado. In such tornadoes smaller vortices form within the main vortex of the tornado.

Rather than indicating a lack of organization in the tornado, a multivortex structure usually indicates a strong tornado.
