It depends on how strong the tornado is.
At the low end (EF0 and EF1) tornadoes damage roofs, break windows, and knock down small trees.
In the mid range (EF2 and EF3) tornadoes demolish trailers, uproot and snap large trees, and tear roofs and walls from most buildings .
At the high end (EF4 and EF5) trees are stripped of bark, strong buildings are leveled or blown away, and asphalt is peeled from roads.
