Probably not at one time. While it is certainly possibly for a tornado to kill 70 or more people in a short period of time, most people who die in a tornado are not picked up, but are struck by debris or crushed in collapsing structures. In most cases of deaths, even in very violent tornadoes, bodies are found fairly close to where they originated.

A large group of people standing in the open could get picked up by a large tornado, but this is a very unlikely scenario as people will usually be inside if a tornado is approaching.

Is a 70 mph gust a tornado?

A tornado with 70 mph winds is actually not uncommon. Such a tornado would be rated EF0, the lowest classification. A tornado like this would not tear houses apart, but it could still cause some noticeable damage. However, other wind events besides tornadoes can produce winds of 70 mph and stronger; such winds are not even hurricane force.

Is tornado very dangerous?

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.


Can tornado travel forward at speeds ranging from 30-70 mph?

Yes, forwards speeds closer to 30 mph are more common, though at least one tornado has traveled at over 70 mph. The average forward speed for a tornado is 35 mph. Some tornadoes travel slower though, and can even be stationary.
