The Tri-State tornado had a number of factors that made it so deadly.
First it was a very powerful tornado, most likely an F5, capable of completely obliterating well built structures.
Second it had an unusually long damage path, the longest ever recorded, and was 3/4 mile to 1 mile wide as a result it affected a very large area.
Third, its large size and the low cloud base of its parent storm made it difficult to discern as a tornado.
Fourth, it moved very quickly, at times over 70 mph, leaving little time to prepare.
Finally, this tornado touched down in a time when there were no tornado warnings.

Yes, especially if it is a strong tornado.
Any tornado can be dangerous. An F5 tornado is extremely dangerous. Hit by the full force of an F5 tornado, even the strongest houses will be swept away. Many F5 tornadoes are quite large, capable of leveling whole neighborhoods and killing dozens in a matter of minutes.
