The debris in a tornado consists of objects lifted and carried by the winds of the tornado. The debris travels at high speeds. A hard object traveling at such high speeds, even if it weighs only a few pounds, can easily cause a serious or even fatal injury. The debris may also include sharp objects such as splintered wood and broken glass. It is easier for the winds of a tornado to pick up such relatively light, but still dangerous objects than it is to pick up a person, which is why more people die from debris that from being thrown. Additionally, people are more likely to be inside than outside during a tornado. The building they are in will usually provide enough protection that they won't be carried away, but debris that can come through windows and walls or even from the destruction of the building may still prove fatal. Finally, a strong tornado moving through a developed area can produce an enormous amount of flying debris.
What else can I help you with?
What is the most dangerous part of a volcano?
Probably the single largest danger during earthquakes are the collapse of buildings and or falling debris which can cause severe injury or death. Another major danger is the potential for fire and explosion due to damage to underground services such as gas mains as well as damage to gas pipework in damaged or collapsed structures. Cities or towns near the coast in earthquake prone areas may also be at risk from tsunami.

What is the weakest part of a tornado?
DEBRIS is the most dangerous part of a Tornado .
What is the most damaging part of a tornado?
That depends on the tornado. In a single vortex tornado the most damaging part would be the edge of the tornado's core, analogous to the eye wall of a hurricane. In a multiple vortex tornado, the most damaging part would be the subvotices that orbit within the main circulation of the tornado.

Is the eye athe worst part of a tornado?
No, the eye of a tornado is actually the calmest part, with clear skies and no precipitation. The most dangerous part of a tornado is the wall cloud and the tornado itself, where the strongest winds and most damage occur.
Is the eye of tornado safe?
No, the eye of a tornado is not safe. While it may appear calm, the most dangerous part of a tornado is the surrounding eyewall, where the strongest winds and most intense damage occur. It is not advisable to seek shelter in the eye of a tornado.
The strongest winds are on which side of a tornado?
The strongest winds in a tornado are typically on the right side of the tornado's path, known as the "right-front quadrant." This area can experience wind speeds exceeding 200 mph, making it the most dangerous part of the tornado.
What is the most known tornado?
mostly in America the tri state tornado but most part of the world it is the Daulatapur Salturia Bangladesh tornado
What is the weakest point of a tornado?
The weakest point of a tornado is typically at its periphery, where the wind speeds are lower compared to the core. This outer region may contain more debris and dust, making it less destructive than the central core where wind speeds are strongest.
What is the anvil of a tornado?
The anvil is not actually part of a tornado. it is part of the storm that produces a tornado. Inside a thunderstorm moist air rises as long as it is warmer than its surroundings. However, when the rising cloud of the thunderstorm reaches a comparatively warm layers such as at the top of the troposphere it cannot rise any more, and will spread out, forming a wide, flat top to the storm cloud. This flat top is the anvil.
Is Oklahoma a tornado alley?
Yes. Oklahoma is in the most active part of Tornado Alley.
Is a tornado part of a thunderstorm?
Yes. A tornado can be though of as part of a larger parent thunderstorm, though most thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes.
