Answer 5

er, tornado, tornados can rip up houses and hurl them from their foundations.

Answer 6

Tornado.  A single lightning strike cannot cause nearly as much damage as a single tornado.  Yes, lightning can kill people if it strikes them and it can mess up the insides of your car, but tornados destroy anything in site as long as they last.  Some don't last very long (as in they touch down but quickly die out.) but the ones that due can damage land, houses people, anything in site.

Answer 7

I don't know anything about anything, but in my opinion as a witness to both;

a lightning strike is more powerful, but as it remains in a concentrated area, the tornado is much more powerful because it rips through a vast area causing way more devastation.
