Tornadoes destroy property in two ways. Powerful winds can tear apart or collapse structures. Second, the winds can carry objects at high speeds, this flying debris can make damage more severe than the wind alone.
The main damaging force in a tornado is the wind. These winds carry enough force to tear away or push over parts of structures. In some cases structures may be completely blown away. Debris carried by the winds can cause additional damage on impact.
Tornadoes cause damage though their strong winds and flying debris.
Though extreme winds that, in a strong tornado, can tear apart trees and buildings. These winds can also turn objects into high-speed projectiles.
the debris hitting the walls and the wind itself
Their immensely powerful force can hover over houses to reduce it to a pile of rubble.
Hurricanes and tornadoes can both cause damage through a combination of powerful winds and debris carried by those winds.
Hurricanes also cause massive damage through flooding.
Tornadoes do not get names, that's hurricanes.
Hurricanes get named, Tornadoes do not. Tornadoes get a classification rating from F0 to F5* depending on the damage they produce (an indicator of wind intensity). Some are identified by occurrence ("the Kansas City tornado of 1986"), but they are not given a specific name. In the US, the "Enhanced Fujita Scale" is used, with ratings from EF0 to EF5. Additionally, there have been tens of thousands of tornadoes recorded; it would be impossible to list them all here.
There are many different types of violent windstorms including tornadoes, microbursts, derechos, and hurricanes.
There has never been a tornado name Sheila as tornadoes are not given names like hurricanes are. The name Sheila is included on the list of tropical cyclones (generic for hurricanes, typhoons, etc.) in the area of Fiji and was used once, but the storm only reached equivalent to tropical storm intensity.
They don't. Tornadoes are too short-lived and to numerous to name them. People name hurricanes to avoid confusion when more than one is happening at the same time, and to distinguish between hurricanes that impact the same areas.
sir they dont name tornadoes just hurricanes
Tornadoes do not get names, that's hurricanes.
Hurricanes and tornadoes are rated on different scales. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale) from EF0 to EF5.
tornadoes or hurricanes
Cause they do.
Tornadoes are not given names a hurricanes are, but may be referred to by the places they hit. In this case, the most destructive tornado on record is the Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 which caused $2.8 billion in property damage.
No. Tornadoes are not named like hurricanes are. Many tornadoes can be referred to by the town or state that they hit, such as the Tri-State tornado or the Joplin tornado.
Do you mean the National Weather Service giving tornadoes male names and hurricanes female names? If so, the answer is no. Hurricanes are named from lists that are compiled of a name starting with each letter of the alphabet and alternating in gender. Tornadoes do not get names at all.

A tornado in the U.S. is simply called a tornado. They do not get individual names as hurricanes do.
Tornadoes do not have names, hurricanes do. No tornadoes in Washington appear to have been bad enough to have any real claim to fame.
No. Tornadoes do not have names; hurricanes do. One term relating to tornadoes that starts with 'a' is anticyclonic. An anticyclonic tornado is one that spins in the opposite direction from what is normal. That is, it spins clockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
