The effecst depend on the size and strength of the tornado and on where it hits. In many cases some kind of damage will occur to vegetation and/or property. In most cases the damage will be notable but not particularly severe. People may be killed in such situations, but deaths are rare. Stronger tornadoes can very badly damage or destroy man-made structures and can tear apart large numbers of trees. These tornadoes result in fatalities more frequently. In the worst cases everything in a localized area may be completely destroyed. Such tornadoes often result in multiple deaths. Where a tornado occurs is also crucial. Some tornadoes move through sparsely populated countryside, hitting little or nothing and so causing fairly little damage if any. Some tornadoes hit communities, sometimes even major cities. Weak tornado still usually do not cause large amounts of damage, but when this happens with violent tornadoes the effects can be devastating. In the worst cases whole neigborhoods can be destroyed and dozens killed.
