Do a tornado make a city or a house change after years?

In most cases the worst of a tornado would passover a house in a few seconds, and through a city in a few minutes. A house may take weeks or months to repair, or may simply never by rebuilt. In the case of especially devastating tornadoes, a city can take years to recover, and some never do.For example, after a large portion of the town of Greensburg, Kansas was destroyed by a tornado in 2007 many people did not rebuild. Since then about half the town's population has moved away.

What size is a tornado?

All sizes. Many are only a few yards wide, stay on the ground for a very short distance and cause little damage. In 1991 a series of 55 separate tornadoes struck Oklahoma and Kansas. The F-5 Andover tornado which killed 13 people was over 600 feet wide and covered a distance of 46 miles. The Red Rock tornado in the same outbreak was at least 4,000 feet wide and traveled 66 miles on the ground. It was only rated F-4 because it passed through no areas of high population, causing much less damage and no fatalities. The 2007 Greensburg tornado was the first tornado to be rated EF-5 using the Enhanced Fujita Scale. It was nearly two miles wide, traveled 22 miles, completely destroyed 95% of the buildings in Greensburg, and caused 11 fatalities. The widest tornado ever recored was the F4 that struck Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004. The damage survey found the tornado was at one point 2.5 miles wide. The median path width for a tornado is about 50 yards.
