The winds cause the damage. Both the updraft winds the rotational winds are very powerful. Strong enough to peel siding and uproot trees in weak tornadoes. In the strongest tornadoes winds may be well over 200 mph, capable of lifting entire houses from their foundations. When buildings are destroyed pieces of them get turned into high-speed projectiles that cause even more damage.
