Homes and businesses can be destroyed. Power outages are common even in weak tornadoes. People in that path of a tornado may be killed or injured.

Some people, especially in small communities, may leave rather than rebuild. The local economy may suffer as local businesses have to rebuild or close for repairs. People may suffer from psychological trauma and long-term bodily injuries.
