An EF3 tornado will partially or mostly destroy a well built house, removing the roof and collapsing exterior walls and some interior walls, sometimes leaving only a few standing. Weaker structures may be leveled and poorly anchored ones may be blown some distance. Most trees in the path of an EF3 tornado will be uprooted or snapped. Heavy vehicles may be lifted.
