Best Answer

It depends on how strong the tornado is. A weak tornado (EF0 or EF1) will generally only destroy small trees and weakly built structures such as sheds and fences. Stronger structures will only take minor to moderate damage.

A strong tornado (EF2 or EF3) will destroy most trees, vehicles, and some buildings.

A violent tornado (EF4 or EF5) will destroy just about everything in its path.
