This question can be interpreted in a few ways.

Tornadoes can occur and cause damage just about anywhere in the world that gets thunderstorms.

The area along with a tornado causes damage is called its damage path. The longest damage path (distance that tornado traveled) on record was 219 miles. The widest damage path (how big the actual tornado was) was 2.5 miles.
