Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the above can cause damage to structures during a tornado. Flying debris propelled by high winds can damage buildings and structures in the tornado's path. The tornado's high winds themselves can also cause direct damage to structures. The drop in air pressure as a tornado passes overhead can cause roofs to lift and walls to collapse inward. And the drop in air pressure above a roof as high winds blow over it can cause the roof to lift off, causing significant damage to the structure.
