Tornadoes vary greatly in power. They are measured by the Fujiti scale (don't trust my spelling). An F1 is not very powerful and might move aroun loose debris. an F2 has the potential to uproot very small trees and knock satellite dishes off of rooves. An F3 cause significant structural damage to houses and damages trees badly. Fences and rooves are torn from their anchors and light, small cars are lifted. An F4 causes severe structural damage to anything in its path and levels many houses and lifts most cars. All but the sturdiest and biggest trees are uprooted and destroyed. F5's destroy everything in their path, totally destroying all houses, knocking over skyscrapers and uprooting all trees. Everything is annihilated, except short, reinforced concrete bunkers and very deep (i.e. multiple stories deep) underground structures. The theoretical F6 could potentially destroy even these, but the chances of one are next to nothing, since there hasn't ever been a recorded incidence of one, and F5 are extremely rare.
