Usually, but not always. Large tornadoes are usually more intense than strong ones. Many EF3 and stronger tornadoes are a quarter mile wide or more, but it is unusual to see EF0 and EF1 tornadoes that large.
Regardless of strength a large tornado is likely to cause more damage simply because it covers a larger area.

When are tornadoes more likely to be seen in ms?
Tornadoes are most common in the central and eastern parts of Mississippi. The frequency of strong tornadoes in those areas rivals that in parts of Tornado Alley.
What months are tornadoes more common?
Tornadoes usually form in "Tornado season", or somewhere in the spring. The 3 months are April, May, and June.
Is the frequency of tornadoes in the US increasing?
There is some evidence that tornado frequency might be increasing but it is difficult to determine as with more advanced technology and greater knowledge of tornadoes we are now finding tornadoes that we would have previously missed.
Are you more likely to get hit by a tornado in Oklahoma or Texas?
You are more likely to be hit in Oklahoma, which has the highest number of tornadoes per square mile.
How often does more than one tornado happen at the same time?
Fairly often actually. It is not uncommon for multiple supercells to produce tornadoes at the same time during an outbreak. Even more often several tornadoes form and dissipate in succession, though in most cases no two are on the ground at the same time.
