No. Some tornadoes touch down in open fields and cause no damage or injuries. However, all tornadoes have the potential to cause harm, even EF0 tornadoes. There are some whrilwinds that are harmless, such as most dust devils. These are not tornadoes, though they sometimes look like them.

It is still just a tornado.

Sometimes, though, you can get small whirlwinds that usually result from wind interacting with trees, buildings, and terrain. These are not tornadoes, but harmless eddies.
