It varies depending on the structure and the intensity of a tornado. In most cases, though, it takes a matter of seconds, which is usually how long a structure is exposed to the strongest winds.

How fast would winds be moving in a tornado tore roofs off buildings?
It depends on how well attached the roof is, but it would usually take winds of at least 120 mph (193km/h) to remove the roof of a building. This is in the range of an EF2 tornado.
Can a tornado pick up a brick house?
Yes, it is possible but it would take a very powerful tornado to do so. One of at least EF4 strength if the house isn't well anchored. If it is well anchored it would likely require an EF5 tornado. One person managed to capture such an event on video near the town of Elie, Manitoba on June 22, 2007. Despite the tornado's relatively small size it was violent enough to be rated as Canada's only official F5 tornado.

How long would it take a tornado to go around the world at top speed?
The fastest forward speed ever recorded for a tornado was 73 mph, though the tornado that set the record did not travel that fast at all times. At that speed it would take about 14 days to circle the earth. The average tornado travels at about 35 mph, at which speed it would take between 29 and 30 days to circle the earth.
How long would it take for a tornado to move 1 mile?
It depends on how fast the tornado is moving, which varies. An average tornado moves at about 30 mph, so it would take 2 minutes to travel a mile. The fastest a tornado has ever been known to travel was 73 mph, in which case it would travel a mile in about 50 seconds. At the other end, some tornadoes barely move at all.
