A tornado usually follows a relatively straight path, though some tornadoes may shift a bit along this. Occasionally tornadoes may follow a curved path or, rarely, a meandering, looping path. Most tornado paths are a fraction of a mile to three miles long and a few dozen yards wide, however in some cases paths may be dozens of miles long and over a mile, or even two miles wide. Within the path structures and vegetation will sustain varying degrees of damage depending on the intensity of the tornado and what part ot he tornado passes over a particular point. Damage may range from broken tree limbs and peeled roof tiles to complete destruction of strong buildings. In some cases looping or curved paths of more severe damage may be noted within the main damage path indicating the passage of suction vortices withing the main circulation.
