Trees often suffer severe damage even in relatively weak tornadoes. Even EF0 and EF1 tornadoes can uproot and snap trees. In a violent tornado trees can go airborne or be stripped of their bark. Animals may be injured or killed or may lose their habitats. Burrowing animals will likely fare better, though.
