NOAA resources say $16.5 million worth of damage was caused by the tornado, but it does not specify if that is modern amounts or the amount in 1925.
it depends on how strong the tornado is the stronger it is the bigger it will be
Weight is not something that is measure in a tornado. Even then, the size of a tornado, and therefore the amount of air it contains, varies widely.
The average lead time for a tornado warning is 15 minutes.
Tornado Alley takes up much of the Great Plains in the central U.S.
The worst tornado on record, the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado that hit Bangladesh on April 26, 1989 was definitely more severe than a typical tornado. This tornado killed 1,300 and left 80,000 homeless. The damage path was 50 miles long, compared with a mile or two for a typical tornado, and was probably much larger and stronger than a typical tornado as well, though no details on that information are available. A typical tornado does not kill and is not strong enough to destroy most homes, though it may be different in Bangladesh where many homes are poorly built.
The Greensburg tornado cost about $250 million.
That is difficult to determine. The highest winds ever recorded in a tornado were measured on May 3, 1999 near Oklahoma city. However, most tornadoes don't get their winds measure so its entirely possible, even probably, that others were stronger. Candidates include the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925; the Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974, and the Jarrell, Texas tornado of May 27, 1997.

The cost of damage from the Waco tornado was $41 million.
Probably about £35 million each
This varies by each incident and location.
That depends on which tornado you are referring to. St Louis has been hit by many tornadoes. The St. Louis tornado of 1896 had a cost of about $20 million at the time, which is equivalent to a bout $570 million in modern amounts. The St. Louis tornado of 1927 cost about $22 million at the time, equivalent to about $300 million today. The St. Louis tornado of 2011 had a cost of about $30 million.
The most famous tornado today is most likely the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. That tornado caused approximately $1 billion in damage.
Damage from the Tri-State tornado is estimated to be $16.5 million in 1925 amounts.
The Joplin tornado caused about $2.8 billion worth of damage to the city of Joplin.
since greensburg is still rebuilding the cost is yet to be determined.
