tornado damage
Twister's destructive aftermath
Tornado damage refers to destruction caused by tornadoes—the collapsed buildings, uprooted trees, scattered debris, and ruined property left in a storm's path.
The term appears frequently in news reports, insurance claims, and disaster relief contexts: FEMA assessed the tornado damage across three counties.
Damage is rated on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, from EF0 (minor) to EF5 (catastrophic).
