Tornadoes can effect people in many ways. Tornadoes they can result in property loss, injuries, and death. Many tornadoes occur throughout the year but only a small percent, actually do a large amount of damage. Homes, farms, and businesses can be damage or destroyed. In some of the worst tornadoes entire towns have been destroyed. Only about 2% of tornadoes kill and most of those killers only claim 1 or 2 lives. However in rare cases death tolls can rise into the dozens, and a handful have had death tolls in the hundreds.

Hurricanes have similar effects, but the damage is more widespread and thus cost of damage is often higher than that of a tornado, even if damage in any given location is less severe. However in cases such as Hurricanes Ike and Katrina, entire neighborhoods may still be washed away by the storm surge. Hurricanes can also have higher death tolls than tornadoes, with some killing thousands.
