In the past 5 years tornadoes in the U.S. have killed 744 people and caused over $15 billion dollars worth of damage. Most of this ocurred as a result of the devastating tornadoes of 2011, which claimed 553 lives and cost approximately $10 billion.
Cost of damage varies, but typically, damage from tornadoes totals between $1 billion and $3 billion per year. There is quite a bit of variation, however. In 2009, for example, damage totaled less than $600 million while in 2011 damage was nearly $10 billion.
Tornadoes can cost the U.S. Billions of dollars of damage each year.
The highest cost of damage from a single tornado in the U.S. was $2.8 billion in the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011.

NOAA resources say $16.5 million worth of damage was caused by the tornado, but it does not specify if that is modern amounts or the amount in 1925.
The damage from a tornado is usually more severe than that of a hurricane, but because a tornado covers a much smaller area, the total amount of damage from a tornado is usually less.
It depends on the severity of damage to the house as well as the value of the house. It is impossible to tell without seeing the actual damage; a professional estimate is needed for that. Most houses hit by an EF3 tornado will take less than EF3 damage. However, if the house has sustained EF3 or high-end EF2 damage the structure is probably a total loss.
Most of the deaths and injuries and some of the damage in tornadoes is due to flying debris.
The extremely powerful winds of a tornado cause the most damage. Debris carried by the wind is also very damaging, but exactly how much of the damage is caused by debris or wind is unclear and likely varies considerably depending on the tornado and where it occurs. Debris is a more significant factor for a tornado that goes through a town than for one that only hits isolated farms.
The cost of damage from the Waco tornado was $41 million.
The Joplin tornado caused about $2.8 billion worth of damage to the city of Joplin.
Damage from the Tri-State tornado is estimated to be $16.5 million in 1925 amounts.
it will damage a lot of homes
How much money DO you spend?
NOAA resources say $16.5 million worth of damage was caused by the tornado, but it does not specify if that is modern amounts or the amount in 1925.
It varies widley. In most cases the coast of damage does not exceed a few hundred thousand dollars. However, in a large, violent tornado moving through a city, damage can exceed $1 billion. The costliest tornado on record caused $ 2.8 billion worth of damage when it struck Joplin, Missouri on May 22, 2011.
The damage from a tornado is usually more severe than that of a hurricane, but because a tornado covers a much smaller area, the total amount of damage from a tornado is usually less.
they can cause atleast 400 million dollars of damage , maybe more . & that answer that says " why do you need to know ? " is a crap answer .(=
total property damage was estimated at $81 billion (2005 USD)
How much spend money
The Tri-State tornado of 1925 caused $16.5 billion dollars in damage. That value in 1925 dollars is worth $210 million today when adjusted for inflation.
