A tornado is a violently rotating column of air with powerful winds that can cause damage. The winds can vary greatly in strength. In some cases they may cause damage some roofs and knock down a few trees, perhaps lifting some shingles and twigs.
In a stronger tornado whole roofs may be torn off and sections of wooded areas flattened. Large objects such as roofs and even cars may briefly become airborne.
In the strongest tornadoes well-built houses will be completely destroyed, some possibly wiped clean of their foundations. Very large objects such as houses, train cars, and heavy construction equipment may be carried significant distance.
