Usually a tornado can't destroy an entire town. When it does happen in will involve a very large, very strong tornado striking a very small town.

No. A tornado is a localized event, usually not affecting more than a town or two. A tornado may lead to people leaving a town, or sometimes a tornado-prone region, but not usually a country. For example, many people left the small town of Greensburg, Kansas after most of it was destroyed by a tornado in 2007, but they all stayed in the United States.
The town of Flint, Michigan was struck by a tornado that killed 116 people on June 8, 1853. Also of note is New Richmond , Wisconsin where a tornado killed 117.
Oftentimes people will leave a community that has been hit hard by a tornado. For example, in 2007 a tornado destroyed 95% of the town of Greensburg, Kansas, a town 1600 people at the time. Although the town was mostly rebuilt about half of the population has moved away since then.
