the technical definition of a tornado is "a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground and the base of a cumuliform cloud." Such a cloud, usually Cumulonimbus, has a base between 700 and 4,000 feet above the ground. I don't know how much research has gone into this specific question, but I've heard quoted several times in books and documentaries that a typical Cumulonimbus cloud has a base roughly 2,000 feet above the ground. The typical tornado then would be 2,000 feet tall.
I guess we could just build a wall to keep everyone safe.
