It gets carried and deposited downwind for the most part. In rare cases tornadoes have been known to carry very light materials such as pieces of cloth and paper into the stratosphere, this material can travel great distances.

Do tornadoes keep everything they have or do they sit some back up?

If you mean to say to tornadoes take away everything they touch, no. Some stuff they leave in place depending on how strong the tornado is. If you mean to ask if everything a tornado picks up stays with the tornado or ends up back where it started, then the answer is neither. When a tornado picks something up it will stay airborne for a bit but will eventually fall back down somewhere else or end up stuck in something such as a tree or a wall.

Does the color of a tornado depend on the color of the dirt it picks up?

Partially. The color of a tornado can be affected by the color of the dirt it picks up as well as how it is lit. The funnel of a tornado is condensation just like in ordinary clouds and may appear black, gray, or white depending on how it is lit. The soil of an area can color a tornado as well if enough of it is lifted into the air, but lighting still remains a factor even when dirt completely obscures the funnel. A tornado will appear lighter when lit from the front than when lit from behind.


What happens to the stuff a tornado picks up after it dies?

After a tornado weakens and dissipates, the debris it picked up can fall back to the ground or be carried away by the wind. Items may be dropped back relatively close to where they were originally picked up or scattered over a wider area depending on the strength of the tornado.
