What can you expect from a tornado?
You can expect strong winds that will cause damage to trees and buildings. Debris from that damage may fly through the air. Electrical power will likely fail. Most tornadoes do not cause very severe damage; well-built homes may be damaged but will remain structurally sound. A relatively small percentage of tornadoes will cause major damage, sometimes destroying entire towns. These strong tornadoes are responsible for most tornado-related deaths and injuries.
