there are 6 different types of damage in a tornado
During a tornado, you should prepare supplies such as non-perishable food, water, a flashlight, a battery-operated radio, extra batteries, a first aid kit, important documents, and any necessary medications. It is also important to have a plan in place for where to take shelter during the storm.
There is no specific type or rating for a tornado of a given size, though a mile wide tornado is likely to be very strong. The general term for a very large tornado (though not necessarily a mile wide), is "wedge."

Tornadoes are often, but not always preceded by heavy rain and hail. This hail can sometimes be very large.
When a funnel cloud touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. Tornadoes are characterized by rotating columns of air extending from a cloud to the ground. They can be incredibly destructive and are classified based on the damage they cause using the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
You could say that a tornado is a kind of very fast spinning wind that sometimes happens during a thunderstorm that can wreck houses.
A tornado can do all sorts of damage...from just shattering the widows and ripping off the roof to completely distroying and area.And it also depends on how many tornados there are!!
Damage can range from Minor roof damage and broken tree limbs in a very weak tornado to the complete obliteration of well built structures. For more details see the link below.
The Waco tornado was an F5, meaning that houses were completely destroyed with some of the swept clean off their foundations.
Even the largest tornadoes are not large enough to damage a city. There is no specific kind of tornado that would cover a large portion of a city, though one term used is "wedge." A wedge tornado is a tornado that appears wider than it is tall.

An F1 tornado will severely strip material from the roofs of most buildings. Trailers can be overturned and badly damage and some may be destroyed. Windows can break, garages and porches can collapse and windows can break.
There is no tool used to measure damage. Rather, engineers and meteorologists look at what kind of damage occurred to what structures. Guidelines for what to look for are detailed on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
Tornadoes produce very powerful winds. They occur during severe thunderstorms.
Lost of oil pressure and sever engine damage
The worst degree of damage that a tornado can cause is EF5 damage. In such cases well-built houses are wipec clean off their foundations and blown away. Even larger structures such as churches and small apartment buildings may be swept away. Steel reinforced structures may be completely destroyed. Fortunately, such damage only occurs along a realtively small portion of a tornado's track, which the exception of one tornado which carved an EF5 damage swath half a mile wide.
