Trees are often uprooted even in weak tornadoes, especially if the soil is loose. It is also common for tornadoes to snap branches and trunks. Violent tornadoes can send trees airborne ans strip that bark from others. Grass is usually less affected, but it can be flattened or even uprooted in a strong enough tornado. One EF5 tornado in Mississippi didn't just flatten grass; it stripped away up to 2 feet of topsoil at some locations.
