They mainly affect the U.S, Argentina and Bangladesh. Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center for counties where tornadoes may occur. Tornadoes are classified into five categories F0 through F5.

The most violent tornadoes are capable of massive destruction with wind speeds of up to 300 mph they can destroy large buildings, take out trees, toss vehicles and hundreds of yards. They can also drive straw into trees.

The most common cause of death in a tornado is flying or falling rubbish which can include trees, pieces of buildings, and other objects that a tornado can pick up. Other people may die as buildings collapse on them. While less people may also get picked up by tornadoes and thrown to their deaths. High winds are dangerous because of the impacts they can cause, but in themselves do not stop human breathing. If you are in a closed or shut place there's nothing to worry about.
