Flying debris can shatter windows and doors. If the tornado is strong enough, it can blow the roof right off of a building or knock down walls. In the worst cases, structures can be leveled to the ground or even completely blown away. The severity of damage can be rated on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.

What else can I help you with?
What is the Experiment question for tornado in a bottle?
How does changing the speed at which the bottle is spun affect the size or duration of the tornado created inside it?
Does a different type of liquid affect the time of a bottled tornado?
Yes, using a different type of liquid can affect the time it takes for a tornado to form in a bottle. Thicker liquids such as honey or syrup may take longer to form a tornado compared to lighter liquids like water or oil. The viscosity and density of the liquid will impact the speed and stability of the tornado formation.
How do you find out the strength of a tornado?
The strength of a tornado is determined by the damage it does to man-made structures and vegetation. When a structure takes damage from a tornado, the degree of damage, the type of structure, and its quality of construction are used to estimate the strength of the winds that caused that damage. This is then used to sort the tornado into one of six intensity categories of the Enhanced Fujita Scale, ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.
How long does it take to destroy structures with a tornado?
It varies depending on the structure and the intensity of a tornado. In most cases, though, it takes a matter of seconds, which is usually how long a structure is exposed to the strongest winds. One analysis of the fast-moving EF5 tornado that hit Smithville, Mississippi tornado of 2011 found that houses wiped clean off their foundations were exposed to the strongest winds of the tornado for less than 3 seconds.
What is stronger a small skinny tornado or a large tornado?
A large tornado is typically stronger than a small, skinny tornado. The size of a tornado is often an indication of its strength, with wider tornadoes usually having higher wind speeds and causing more damage. However, other factors such as wind speed, duration, and path can also affect a tornado's strength.
Who does a tornado affect?
A tornado affects anyone unfortunate enough to be in the path of one.
Can a tornado pass over a fork in a river?
Yes. A river, forked or not, will not affect a tornado.
What can be done to a structure to prevent damage from a tornado?
Hello
What is done to a structure to prvent damge from a tornado?
Hello
What happenswhen a lightning bolt hits a raging tornado?
Nothing happens. The lightning will not affect the tornado.
Do tornaodes really affect the earth's surface?
Yes, a tornado is not considered a tornado unless it reaches the ground.
How can a tornado affect the ecosystem?
The main impact of a tornado on ecosystems is the destruction of trees and other vegetation. Animals caught in a tornado may be killed or injured as well.
Can a tornado destroy a fire department?
Yes. A strong enough tornado can destroy just about any manmade structure. A tornado of high EF3 intensity or stronger should be enough.
What temperature when a tornado is coming?
tornado formation is not based on temperature, but upon storm structure. you cannot use temperature to determine tornados
What is the Experiment question for tornado in a bottle?
How does changing the speed at which the bottle is spun affect the size or duration of the tornado created inside it?
Would the most fierce tornado blow the most strong structure in the world?
No. Perhaps the strongest structures in the world are the buildings that house the reactors of nuclear power plants. Not even the strongest tornado could destroy such a structure.
Is there any precipitation after tornadoes?
Often there is, though there is more often precipitation before a tornado. Whether or not their is depends on the structure of the storm system that produced the tornado.
