The Daulatpur-Saturia tornado, which struck Bangladesh on April 26, 1989, caused widespread devastation and resulted in the loss of over 1,300 lives. The rebuilding process following such a catastrophic event would have taken several years to complete. Factors such as the extent of the damage, availability of resources, and coordination among government agencies and international aid organizations would have influenced the timeline for reconstruction efforts.

The worst tornado in world history was the Daulatpur-Saturia, Bangladesh tornado of April 26, 1989. It killed about 1300 people. The next worst would probably be the Tri-State tornado or March 18, 1925, which killed 695 people across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Alabama.
The Joplin, Missouri tornado of 2011 had a damage path of 22 miles.
The recovery timeline for an area following a tornado can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage. It can take months to years for communities to fully recover, rebuild infrastructure, and restore normalcy. Immediate relief efforts focus on providing shelter, medical assistance, and essential supplies to those affected.

The worst tornado on record, the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado that hit Bangladesh on April 26, 1989 was definitely more severe than a typical tornado. This tornado killed 1,300 and left 80,000 homeless. The damage path was 50 miles long, compared with a mile or two for a typical tornado, and was probably much larger and stronger than a typical tornado as well, though no details on that information are available. A typical tornado does not kill and is not strong enough to destroy most homes, though it may be different in Bangladesh where many homes are poorly built.

The worst tornado in U.S. history, the Tri-State tornado of 1925, was on the ground for 3 hours and 29 minutes. The worst in world history, the Daulatput-Saturia tornado of 1989, had a path length of 50 miles but it is not known how long it was on the ground. However, given the path length it was probably on the ground for an hour to two hours.
That is difficult to determine. The highest winds ever recorded in a tornado were measured on May 3, 1999 near Oklahoma city. However, most tornadoes don't get their winds measure so its entirely possible, even probably, that others were stronger. Candidates include the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925; the Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974, and the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997.
short terms: rebuild houses Long term: community broke down/ damage environment is in the primary and secondary succession
Long term impacts of tornadoes include the need to rebuild, economic losses, lasting effects of injuries and psychological trauma, and the destruction of trees, which can take decades to regrow.
One organisation that helps tornado victims is the American Red Cross. They provide emergency relief and assistance to those affected by tornadoes, including immediate needs like shelter, food, and medical care. They also offer long-term support to help individuals and communities recover and rebuild after a tornado.
