Tornadoes cause damage with extreme winds and debris carried by those winds. Damage from less intense tornadoes includes damage roofs and siding, downed trees and tree limbs, and broken windows. More intense tornadoes will rip away roofs and walls, carrying debris away. Some structures may be overturned, blown over, or blown away.

Volcanoes cause damage in a variety of ways. Hot ash and lava flows can start fires. Crusted-over lava flows can essentially bulldoze some areas. Places can by buried under cooled lava, ash, or mud. Mudflows, which are as dense as concrete, can sweep away sturdy buildings. Pyroclastic flows, avalanches of superheated ash, rock, and gas, burn most of what they hit and can strike with force that, in some cases, surpasses even the most violent tornadoes.
