During a tornado, vegetation and buildings ay be badly damaged to destroyed. There usually is not damage to the ground itself except in the most violent of tornadoes. In these rare cases, though, significant amounts of soil may be scoured away. When cities get hit, even relatively minor tornadoes can damage homes and knock out power. When violent tornadoes hit, people are usually killed and injured. Homes and businesses are destroyed. Damage in cities can be catestrophic, with whole neighborhoods leveled. After a tornado strikes, there are often rescue efforts to find anyone who is trapped or injured and to recover any dead bodies. Even then, some of the injured may later die of their injuries. Debris and fallen trees must be cleared from roads to gain access to the worst-hit areas. Power is restored and damaged buildings are repaired whiled destroyed ones are rebuilt or replaced. Evidence of the tornado's passage may last for decades in areas where the trees have to grow back.
