Note that tornadic winds do not just go up; they sprial upward. So the damage is not purely a result of the upward movement. That said, the vertical component of dornadic winds makes them more damaging then simple-horizontal winds. The rapid upward movement of air makes it more likely for roofs to torn from structures. In somce cases whole barns, trailers, and event houses may be lifted.

What kind of forces does a tornado use?
The force that drives the winds of a a tornado is a pressure gradient; the pressure inside a tornado is lower than it is outside. Most of the damage caused is created by the wind acting on structures. Some damage is also cased by the impact of debris carried by the wind.
What makes a tornado a tornado?
The process of tornado formation starts when wind shear starts the updraft a a thunderstorm rotating, turning it into a supercell. If the right kind of down draft, called a rear-flank down draft occurs it can wrap around the rotating updraft, which is called a mesocyclone, and turn it into a more intense circulation: a tornado.
How do strong winds cause tornado?
It usually requires a special kind of thunderstorm called a supercell. These storms have a powerful, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. It is believed that if a mesocyclone intensifies rapidly it creates a downdraft, called a read-flank downdraft or RFD, near the back of the storm. This downdraft wraps around the bottom portion of the mesocyclone, tightening ans intensifying the rotation to produce a tornado. RFD winds can be very strong, sometimes exceeding 100 mph (160 km/h).
What is the weakest tornado kind?
The weakest category of tornado is EF0 on the enhanced Fujita scale. The weakest of the two actual varieties of tornado are type 2 tornadoes, those that don't form in supercells (landspouts and most waterspouts). These rarelly exceed Ef0 intensity.

What kind of damage does a funnel cloud do?
A funnel cloud is a rotating, cone-shaped cloud that extends downward from a thunderstorm. While it is not considered a tornado until it touches the ground, a funnel cloud can still produce strong winds and hail. If a funnel cloud does touch down, it can cause the same type of damage as a tornado, including destruction of buildings, trees, and other structures.

What kind of tornado damages a whole city?
Even the largest tornadoes are not large enough to damage a city. There is no specific kind of tornado that would cover a large portion of a city, though one term used is "wedge." A wedge tornado is a tornado that appears wider than it is tall.
