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.
It is highly unlikely for a tornado to pick up an elephant due to their size and weight. Tornadoes are capable of lifting smaller objects such as debris and farm animals, but the sheer mass of an elephant would make it extremely difficult for a tornado to lift.
The area affected by a tornado can vary widely, but on average, the diameter of a tornado is about 150-500 meters (500-1,600 feet). However, larger tornadoes can have a path that is several kilometers wide.
It is unlikely that a tornado would be able to lift a battle tank due to its weight and low center of gravity. Tornadoes are powerful, but they typically do not have enough force to lift heavy military vehicles.
The largest tornado and deadliest tornado in Oklahoma tornado were actually two separate tornadoes. The deadliest tornado in Oklahoma history was the Woodward tornado of April 9, 1947. This tornado killed a total of 181 people; 68 in Texas, and 107 in Oklahoma. It was estimated to be between 1 and 2 miles wide. The largest tornado in Oklahoma history may be debated. The official title holder is the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013. This tornado was measured by Doppler Radar to be 2.6 miles wide. It killed 8 people. However a likely contender for widest on record is the Mulhall tornado of May 3, 1999. Doppler Radar indicated that this tornado may have been as much as 4.3 miles wide. This tornado killed 2 people.
The Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh in 1989 caused extensive damage and resulted in over 1300 fatalities. The economic cost of the tornado is estimated to be around $1.5 billion.
Depends how large or small the Tornado is.

The Greensburg tornado cost about $250 million.
The cost of damage from the Waco tornado was $41 million.
The maximum weight an average tornado can pick up is estimated to be around 30,000 pounds (15 tons). However, stronger tornadoes have been known to pick up heavier objects.
The most famous tornado today is most likely the Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. That tornado caused approximately $1 billion in damage.
Considering that you shouldn't go outside during a tornado, yes. You are much safer inside.
Hurricanes themselves are much larger than any thunderstorm or tornado.
No. Winds in a tornado are destructive, and the dust and condensation in the air would preventyou from seeing much.
Its Free
No. The weight of the cloud is not what forms the tornado. Tornadoes are form by interactions of wind currents within a thunderstorm.
The preferred course of action, in the case of a tornado, is to get into your basement or storm cellar. You are much safer underground.
