There is no real evidence that they can. The most violent tornadoes have been known to have been turn from their foundations, but foundations have noot been blown away. Some foundations have been damaged, however. In a few cases concrete slabs have been shattered, but this was likely due to impacts from large objects rather than the tornado's winds.

What is the destructive force on a house caused by a tornado?
The main destructive force is the wind. The winds of a tornado can tear away parts of the house, break winds, and possibly push in walls. In some cases the winds may be strong enough to completely blow the house away. A tornado may also carry debris, which can cause damage if it hits a building.
Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?
That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.
