The greatest danger in a tornado is flying debris. This occurs when objects, such as pices of destroyed buildings, are picked up by the powerful winds and propelled to high speeds. Other people may be killed to injured as structures collapse or trees fall under the force of the winds. In some cases, people may be picked up and thrown if caught outside or in a vehicle, and are often injured or killed on impact.
