It depends on the intensity of the tornadoes and the construction of the house. Damage can range from minor damage to the outside to complete destruction. Most tornadoes are weak, rated EF0 and EF1.
An EF0 may strip off small sections of roof surface and siding and take down gutters and awnings.
An EF1 may severely strip the roof, break windows, and sometimes break down exterior doors. Houses with weak roof attachments may lose their roofs.
And EF2 will most like remove all or large sections of the roof and some exterior walls may collapse. Some houses may shift off their foundations.
An EF3 will likely destroy exterior and interior walls. Weaker houses may collapse completely.
An EF4 will likely cause complete collapse of the house, though in strong houses a few interior walls may remain standing. Weakly anchored houses may be lifted up and carried some distance.
An EF5 will most likely blow a house clean off its foundation.
