Can a tornado suck 70 people at a time?

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.
