A tornado produces very powerful, rotating winds. Buildings and vegetation in the path of the tornado may be damage or outright torn apart by these winds. If the tornado is strong enough, it will pick up pieces of buildings it destroys, creating fast-moving debris that adds to the destruction. Flying debris, collapsing buildings, and being picked up and thrown by the winds may lead to injury or death.
