Potentially an EF5 tornado can destroy thousands of houses. However the measure of a tornado's intensity is not based on the quantity of damage but by the severity of damage. For an EF5 tornado the general indicator is well built houses that are completely removed from their foundations and blown downwind.
Some F5/EF5 tornadoes have torn across rural areas, destroying only a few homes. But some of those that were destroyed were completely obliterated.
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage and can take you to a safer location if proper shelter is sought during a tornado warning. It is important to take tornado warnings seriously and seek shelter in a designated safe place.
It varies widely. Most tornadoes aren't strong enough to destroy a house, often they just take off siding, gutters, and small portions of the roof surface. Some tornadoes stay in open fields and never touch any structures. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the very worst of tornadoes can destroy thousands of homes.
Only to a very limited degree. Scientists can determine when conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop (in which case a tornado watch is issued), or even if a tornado may be developing (which would prompt a tornado warning), but cannot predict exactly where or when a tornado will touch down.
a tornado warning is something that tells u a tornado has been spotted in your area or is strongly indicated by radar. so tornado warning means tornado near you. you should take cover when this is issued.
"Worse" is not the word, let's say "more important": Tornado warning is more important. A tornado "watch" means weather conditions are such that there is a possibility a tornado could form. But there have been no tornadoes as of yet. A Tornado warning means A tornado has been spotted/touched down in your alert area. You should take cover if a tornado warning is issued for your area; go into a cellar, or the lowest, most inner part of your house where there are no windows (a downstairs or basement bathroom is ideal). Tornado watch? Merely continue to monitor the weather broadcasts.
Tornado's take away houses and alot of buildings also they take away alot of lives's. Tornado's also cause alot of damage that you than have to fix as a group. People lose alot of homes too.

About 39% of tornado fatalities in the United States take place in trailer homes.
Take cover under a desk or in the hallway facing a wall. Crouch down and cover your head. As always when there is a tornado, stay away from windows
Depends on the size of the houses
yes it can cause tornado formation can take time in an area
It is very unlikely for a tornado to directly knock down a 5-story brick building. Tornadoes are typically capable of causing significant damage to structures, but the structural integrity of a 5-story brick building would make it highly resistant to collapse from a tornado.

People living in tornado-prone areas are generally more prepared to take shelter quickly when a tornado threatens. Some schools and institutions practice tornado drills. Some buildings and homes are outfitted with tornado shelters and many towns have sirens that sound when a tornado warning is issued.
it mostly can go straight in any path it takes
The time it takes for a tornado to destroy something can vary depending on the tornado's intensity, size, and the durability of the object. In many cases, a tornado can cause significant damage within seconds to minutes as it passes through an area.
Only to a very limited degree. Scientists can determine when conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop (in which case a tornado watch is issued), or even if a tornado may be developing (which would prompt a tornado warning), but cannot predict exactly where or when a tornado will touch down.
