Can a tornado pick up a house?

It depends on the intensity of tor tornado. The heaviest objects known to have been lifted by a tornado was a 90 ton oil tank. The intensity of the tornado that did this was likely well into the F5 range.


What is the heaviest object a tornado has ever lifted up?

It is difficult to determine, but the heaviest objects lifted by a tornado appear to be a set of three oil tanks, each weighing 90 tons. The tornado struck Pecos County, Texas on June 1, 1990. The tornado was officially rated F4 as it hit few structures, but of ground scouring and the carried oil tanks suggests that the tornado's intensity was well into the F5 range.


Can a tornado lift up a commercial airplane?

It depends on the intensity of the tornado and the size of the plane. As an example, depending on the design, a Boeing-737 weighs about 30 to 50 tons empty and about 55 to 95 tons fully loaded. Based on records of large objects being moved, a strong enough tornado, almost certainly an EF5, could lift a plane at the lower end of this range. Smaller airliners could probably be lifted in that case as well. A violent tornado, however, would place an enormous amount of shearing stress on a plane, something planes are generally not designed to withstand. So, a commercial airplane struck by such a strong tornado would likely be torn apart rather than lifted as a whole.


Can you survive if you get sucked into a tornado?

If you are picked up by a tornado it is most likely that you will be thrown by it and most likely die on impact. However, in a few cases people have survived being carried by tornadoes with only minor injuries.

Could an EF4 Tornado Lift Up Atomic Betty's Ship?

Possibly. EF4 tornadoes have been known to lift poorly anchored buildings and heavy construction equipment. More would have to be known about the ship's specifications. It could be lifted it probably would not go very far.


How many houses can a tornado pick up?

While tornadoes frequently destroy houses it is fairly rare for whole houses to be lifted. In some cases a violent tornado might pick up one or two at a time and perhaps a few dozen in all along its path.
