How do tornadoes destroy houses?
Tornadoes destroy houses by generating powerful winds that can reach speeds over 200 mph, causing structural damage and debris to be thrown at high velocities. The combination of these factors can rip off roofs, collapse walls, and even level entire structures. Additionally, the intense pressure differences inside and outside the house can contribute to its destruction.
