The main way in which a tornado might affect a large population is loss of property and loss of electricity. A relatively weak tornado can bring down power lines and cut off power to a large area depending on where it hits. When a violent tornado goes through a large population area hundreds, even thousands of homes may be destroyed or severely damaged.
A tornado is not likely to kill a significant portion of a large population. The deadliest tornado of recent years killed 158 after going through Joplin, Missouri, a city with a population of about 50,000. A more notable percentage, over 1,100 or about 2% of the city's population was injured. Since about a third of the city was directly impacted by the tornado, that means about 6-7% in the path were injured. Note, however that this was an extreme case as this was only the second tornado since 1979 to injure more than 1,000.

Tornadoes do kill people, but it is rare for the death toll to make a substantial dent in the population unless a tornado kills a large number of people in a small community.

Only 12 of its 1,600 residents died, but since the tornado, more than 800 have moved away.
