It depends on the tornado and where it hits, though typically damage will not exceed more than a few thousand dollars worth.
Sometimes a tornado will stay an an open field and cause no damage at all.

Is an F0 tornado same as a gustnado?
No. An F0 tornado is simple a weak tornado, or one that does little to no damage. A gustnado is a vortex that resembles a tornado that forms in the outflow boundary of a severe thunderstorm. Gustnadoes can occasionally cause damage comparable to an F0 or F1 tornado, but they are not considered tornadoes.

What is an F0 tornado?
F0 is the lowest category on the Fujita scale of tornado intensity, which ranges from F0 to F5. An F0 tornado causes relatively minor damage including broken tee limbs, weak-rooted trees toppled, missing roof tiles, and gutters peeled of. Tornadoes that stay in open fields and thus cause no damage are also rated F0. Originally F0 winds were estimated at 40-72 mph, but were adjusted to 65-85 mph on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (an EF0 tornado) but the damage is basically the same.
How is the f-scale measured?
The F-scale or Fujita sclae rates tornado from F0 to F5 based on damage. An F0 causes light damage or no damage at all. F5 damage is total destruction.

Is there such a thing as an F-0 tornado?
Yes. F0 is the lowest rating a tornado can receive. Such a tornado peels shingles, damages signs, and breaks tree limbs. Tornadoes that occur in open fields and cause no damage are also rated F0. About 60% of tornadoes receive F0 ratings.
Why are most tornadoes f0-f1?
The stronger a tornado the more energy it takes and most storms do not have the energy to produce a tornado stronger than F1 or are not organized enough to focus that energy into a tornado. Additionally, tornado ratings are based on damage and some tornadoes stay in open fields, causing no damage. Such tornadoes are rated F0.
What damage does an F0 tornado cause?
