Tornadoes are also insentient. But I supposs this bring sup the (probably stupid) question of, are all the Elementals sentient, are merely semiconscious? I feel like with some exceptions that the more metaphysical something is the less sentience they show at least in the mortal plain (INB4 someone mentions Oha-Sok)
On a related note, Hydaelyn's being sentient has been confirmed from the get go since we were able to visit her plain of existence several times.
The Elementals are sentient, yes. They are aware of what they are doing, but do not necessarily work of the same sort of moral set or values that people do.
