It depends on how well-built the house is. According to the Enhanced Fujita scale it takes winds of about 150 mph (EF3) to reach the level of "most walls collapsed, except small interior rooms" for a well-built house and a 170 mph (EF4) wind to have "all walls collapsed."
It depends on the house and the tornado. Some brick and masonry houses are built better than others and tornadoes vary in strength. In an EF5 tornado virtually any structure will be destroyed. Only the very strongest steel-reinforced structures can withstand such a storm.
Bowling balls are heavy because their weight helps them maintain momentum and knock down pins effectively. The weight of the ball allows it to roll smoothly and generate enough force to hit the pins with enough power to knock them down.
It is very unlikely for a tornado to directly knock down a 5-story brick building. Tornadoes are typically capable of causing significant damage to structures, but the structural integrity of a 5-story brick building would make it highly resistant to collapse from a tornado.
A tornado that touches the ground is simply a tornado. Before it touches down it is called a funnel cloud.
The wind would need to be at least 70-75 miles per hour to knock down an average-sized person.
Even relatively weak tornadoes can knock down and snap power lines, causing power outages which can be localized or widespread.
No, but a tent definetely.
Yes. Tornadoes often cause widespread power outages as even weak tornadoes can knock down power lines. Tornadoes have also been known to start fires by breaking gas lines or, in older times, knocking over wood and coal burning stoves. At least one tornado contributed to flooding after the debris it left behind clogged storm drains.
Yes, a strong enough tornado can potentially knock down a brick house or cause significant structural damage. Tornadoes are capable of producing extremely high winds and destructive forces that can impact even well-built structures.
It depends on the house and the tornado. Some brick and masonry houses are built better than others and tornadoes vary in strength. In an EF5 tornado virtually any structure will be destroyed. Only the very strongest steel-reinforced structures can withstand such a storm.
Even relatively weak tornadoes can take down power lines, leading to blackouts that cover whole towns and nieghborhoods.

the ghosts will hunt you down then you'll be living in a haunted house...with ghosts doesn't that sound fun
If you are referring to Hurricane Sandy, then yes. Millions will be without power.
No, wolves cannot blow a house of straws down like in the story of "The Three Little Pigs." Wolves do not have the lung capacity or strength to knock down a house in that manner.
The knock down power of a 12 gauge shotgun depends on the ammo used. Using bird shot it had low knockdown power, however using double or triple ought buck packs quite a lot more. A slug would have even more knockdown power.
