The Tri-state tornado was spawned by a supercell, a type of powerful rotating thunderstorm with a strong updraft. This supercell was one of several that formed in association with a low pressure system that tracked across a portion of the United States. The associated fronts created an upward nudge in an unstable air mass, triggering the storms. Why the Tri-State tornado was on the ground for so long is uncertain.

No. Rain does not cause a tornado. However, both rain and tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms.
The largest tornado even recorded caused about $160 million dollars in damage, but keep in mind this wasn't the most damaging tornado or the strongest. The tornado with the strongest recorded winds caused $1 billion in damage (about $1.3 billion in today's dollars). The most damaging tornado recorded caused the equivalent of $1.7 billion in today's dollars.
