It varies depending on the tornado. Stronger tornadoes inflict more severe damage. Even a relatively weak tornado will snap tree limbs and the occasional trunk. Some trees may be uprooted. A strong tornado will snap or uproot most of the trees in its path. Some trees may be entirely lifted into the air. In a violent (EF4 or EF5) tornado the few trees that remain in place are stripped of their bark and left with only stubs of the largest branches.
