No. That is a common myth. Tornadoes destroy buildings with wind and derbris, not low pressure.

Does low pressure in a tornado cause buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead?

No, buildings do not explode due to low pressure in a tornado. The destructive force in a tornado comes from high-speed winds and flying debris, not pressure differentials. Buildings may collapse or sustain damage from the strong winds and debris impact.


Is this a myth or a fact the low pressure with a tornado causes buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead?

This is a fact. The low pressure associated with a tornado can cause buildings to explode as the tornado passes overhead. The rapid change in pressure inside and outside a building can create a force that can lead to structural failure and cause the building to explode.

Do tornadoes cause damage because they cause homes and buildings to cave in?

Tornadoes can cause houses and other buildings to collapse, but most are not strong enough to do that. A typical tornado can tear away parts of roofs, break windows, and topple trees. Entire roofs and walls can go airborne in stronger tornadoes. Weak structures impacted by strong tornadoes often get blown away rather than collapsing. In very violent tornadoes the same thing can happen to well constructed houses.


Why do tornadoes cause trouble?

The powerful winds insider a tornado can damage or destroy homes and buildings. As buildings come apart potentially deadly debris goes airborne.


In what 2 ways can a tornado cause damage?

What types of catastrophic events are in tornadoes?

Tornadoes can cause catastrophic events such as strong winds, flying debris, and intense lightning. These conditions can result in structural damage to buildings, uprooted trees, and loss of life and injuries to people caught in their path.


Do tornadoes really explode houses?

Tornadoes can cause significant damage to houses by generating powerful winds and debris that can impact and destroy buildings. While they don't technically "explode" houses, the intense pressure differences and debris carried by a tornado can lead to roofs being torn off, walls collapsing, and structures being severely damaged or destroyed.
