5 billion dollars
The area affected by a tornado can vary widely, but on average, the diameter of a tornado is about 150-500 meters (500-1,600 feet). However, larger tornadoes can have a path that is several kilometers wide.
Oh, dude, the Tri-State Tornado hit back in 1925, so I wasn't around to swipe my credit card for those repairs. But, like, estimates suggest it caused over $1 billion in damages in today's money. So yeah, that tornado really took a toll on the ol' wallet.
The largest tornado record, which skirted the edge of of El Reno, Oklahoma on May 31, 2013 killed 8 people. Despite its enormous size at 2.6 miles wide, this EF3 tornado mostly stayed over open country. Had it struck El Reno directly, the death toll would have been much higher.
The largest tornado and deadliest tornado in Oklahoma tornado were actually two separate tornadoes. The deadliest tornado in Oklahoma history was the Woodward tornado of April 9, 1947. This tornado killed a total of 181 people; 68 in Texas, and 107 in Oklahoma. It was estimated to be between 1 and 2 miles wide. The largest tornado in Oklahoma history may be debated. The official title holder is the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013. This tornado was measured by Doppler Radar to be 2.6 miles wide. It killed 8 people. However a likely contender for widest on record is the Mulhall tornado of May 3, 1999. Doppler Radar indicated that this tornado may have been as much as 4.3 miles wide. This tornado killed 2 people.
That can vary widely. First of all, it depends on how severely damaged the house is. Damage can range from a few peeled shingles (with a cost of hundreds of dollars) to the complete destruction of the home, in which case the cost would depend on the value of a new home, which is variable.
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 Greensburg tornado cost about $250 million.
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.

The cost of damage from the Waco tornado was $41 million.
Probably about £35 million each
This varies by each incident and location.
That depends on which tornado you are referring to. St Louis has been hit by many tornadoes. The St. Louis tornado of 1896 had a cost of about $20 million at the time, which is equivalent to a bout $570 million in modern amounts. The St. Louis tornado of 1927 cost about $22 million at the time, equivalent to about $300 million today. The St. Louis tornado of 2011 had a cost of about $30 million.
The most famous tornado today is most likely the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. That tornado caused approximately $1 billion in damage.
The Joplin tornado caused about $2.8 billion worth of damage to the city of Joplin.
Damage from the Tri-State tornado is estimated to be $16.5 million in 1925 amounts.
since greensburg is still rebuilding the cost is yet to be determined.
