Tornadoes have extremely powerful winds that can damage or destroy buildings. Some pieces become potentially deadly debris. In strong tornadoes people may be crushed or trapped in collapsing buildings, or even blown away. Even weak tornadoes can topple trees, which can lead to people being injured or killed. Winds in the very strongest of tornadoes can exceed 300 mph, which virtually no structure can withstand.

Tornadoes are dangerous because they produce very strong winds that can damage or destroy buildings. If a tornado is strong enough it can lift object into the air, turning them into potentially deadly projectiles. Additionally, tornadoes are very unpredictable and can form in minutes.

Tornadoes have very fast moving winds. These winds can damage or destroy buildings, and lift vehicles and people off the ground. Objects picked up by tornadoes can become deadly projectiles.
