How much damage can a fire tornado do?
A fire tornado's primary hazard is how fast it can spread fire. A fire tornado (more properly called a a firewhirl as it technically isn't a tornado) occurs when a massive fire, mostly a forest fire, slowly builds up heat. The warm air naturally goes upwards in a funnel shape, taking the flames with them. If you could imagine a fire tornado dancing above highly flammable treetops, you know the true dangers of them. They can spread a forest fire a lot quicker than normal.
When a dense forest is leveled by a tornado what growth pattern takes place?
After a dense forest is leveled by a tornado, there is typically a process of ecological succession where pioneer species such as grasses and shrubs quickly colonize the area. These species help to stabilize the soil and create more favorable conditions for the establishment of larger plants and trees. Over time, the forest will gradually regrow and develop a new structure.
What kinds of negative effects might a tornado have on a ecosystem?

Where did a major tornado strike with no injuries?

What tornado held the record as the widest tornado ever recorded before the Hallam tornado?
It is not certain, as some of the older recrods of path width are not well-kept. The most likely candidate for this prize was the F5 tornado that struck Sabetha, Kansas on May 17, 1896. According to reports the tornado was at one point 2.25 miles wide. Another candidate is the F4 tornanado that tore through Moshannon State Forest in Pennsylvania on May 31, 1985. The survey suggests that this tornado was at least 2.2 miles wide.
