Tornadoes can destroy as much houses as it can depending on the length of their path. Most tornadoes are too weak to destroy houses, causing mostly superficial damage. However, in the works cases a tornado can destroy thousands of houses.
It depends on the intensity of the tornado. Weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1) can topple trees, destroy sheds and barns, and severely damage or mostly destroy trailers. Stronger structures will sutain mild to moderate damage. Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3) will obliterate trailers and many weak structures. Many houses may be mostly destroyed by an EF3. Violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5) will destroy even the strongest buildings, with an EF5 leaving behind nothing but a bare foundation of most houses.
The longest tornado damage path was 219 miles, but it did not destroy absolutely everything along that path.
Even in weak tornado, trees may lose branches or be uprooted. In stronger tornadoes many trees may be snapped or uprooted while some smaller plants are flattened. Violent tornadoes can rip plants out of the ground and creat swaths of complete deforestation. In the most extreme cases, all vegetation may be removed. Even grass can be scoured from the ground.
