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 gets destroyed in a tornado?
It depends on how strong the tornado is. A weak tornado (EF0 or EF1) will generally only destroy small trees and weakly built structures such as sheds and fences. Stronger structures will only take minor to moderate damage. A strong tornado (EF2 or EF3) will destroy most trees, vehicles, and some buildings. A violent tornado (EF4 or EF5) will destroy just about everything in its path.
Would a non-nuclear bomb destroy a tornado?
Most likely not, though a large enough explosion might disrupt a small, weak tornado temporarily. The structure of a tornado is enormous, extending upwards for miles. Some of the largest tornadoes can be well over a mile wide, and most very destructive tornadoes are at least a quarter of a mile wide. However, any explosive strong enough to disrupt a tornado would cause more damage that the tornado.
How long does a tornado?
Presumably you mean to ask how long a tornado lasts. The average duration for a tornado is about 10 minutes. However, tornadoes can last anywhere from just a few seconds to over an hour. The longest lived one on record lasted 3 hours and 29 minutes.
How does a tornado destroy power lines?
The winds of a tornado carry a large amount of force. Most tornadoes are capable of toppling trees and breaking tree limbs, some of which may fall on power lines, snapping them. An EF1 or EF2 (86-135 mph winds) carries enough force in its winds to topple and snap wooden power poles. The winds of an EF3 tornado (136-165 mph) are powerful enough to crumple steel transmission towers.

What impact do tornadoes have on the built environment?
Depending on the strength of the tornado most buildings will sustained some degree of damage. A very strong tornado will destroy most, if not all buildings in its path.
How much affected would a farmer get from a tornado?
It depends on the tornado. A weak tornado of EF0 or EF1 strength might knock down a fence or two, damage or destroy a barn, or blow apart a few hay bales. A stronger tornado of EF2 or EF3 strength could easily destroy a barn and badly damage or destroy a farm house. Livestock may be killed. At this point a farmer's life is in notable danger. A violent tornado of EF4 or EF5 strength can completely destroy an entire farm. In some EF5 tornadoes, farms have essentially vanished, leaving the concrete foundations of buildings as the only evidence that they ever existed. In some cases tornadoes such as this have killed entire families.
How much does a tornado eat?
Tornadoes do not eat. They are not alive. Tornadoes can destroy things win their paths, but even that varies widely. Some tornado never cause any damage or only break a few tree branches while others destroy whole towns and neighborhoods.

After a large, violent tornado neighborhoods may be turned into fields of debris with trees stripped of their leaves and bark.
