Even relatively week tornadoes, which do little more than peel shingles and knock down a few trees, can cause power outages. Stronger tornadoes can leave many buildings badly damaged or destroyed and pose a substantial threat of injury and death to anyone not in an adequate shelter. In the works cases, a large, violent tornado can level entire neighborhoods and blow houses away, leaving dozens dead and hundreds injured.

Can areas that have little or no record of tornadoes still have tornadoes?

Yes. In some cases the absence of tornado records is due to a lack of documentation rather than a lack of tornadoes. In other cases an area may experience tornadoes so infrequently that none have occurred since before people were around to document them. If a place has little record of tornadoes, that still means tornadoes have been recorded in that area.
