Not exactly lift, but exceptionally violent tornadoes have been known to scour asphalt from roads. Usually this only occurs in small segments, however, the Jarrell, Texas tornado of 1997 scoured away 500 foot segements of two roads.
A tornado watch is just to tell you that the conditions are right for a tornado to form, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a tornado will form. Basically, It's just to give you a heads-up. If you're on the road, i would try to get to shelter. But, if a tornado warning has been issued, it means that a tornado has been reported or spotted on radar. Then, i would definitely move to your basement or get in a sturdy structure, or at least pull over to the side of the road if there are no buildings in sight.
No. If a tornado is coming you will not have time to board up your windows.
It is never a good idea to outrun a tornado in a motor vehicle, as their paths are unpredictable. They change directions quickly and without warning. However, they are a localized event. Icy roads, on the other hand are a widespread event. There is a higher likelihood of having an accident by driving fast on an icy road.

If the tornado is strong enough, yes. It would normally take at least an EF2 tornado to lift a truck.
Yes, it can.
No. An EF1 tornado can lift a poorly secured roof, but not much more than that.
The strongest can pick up anything from buses, cars, small buildings, houses, and even trains! In the late 1800s, there was a record of a thin EF5 tornado and charging at a train in Minnesota. The tornado was recorded to lift up the 60-tonne train 30 meters high in the sky and throwing it 80 ft away into a ditch.
An EF0 tornado can't pick up much of anything, so probably not.
No. An EF0 tornado can't lift much more than roof tiles and small tree branches.
Yes, a strong enough tornado could lift a tractor trailer. It would probably take a a strong EF2 or EF3 to do so.
Yes. Tornadoes have been known to lift up airplanes.
Since when did Zim have a car?
An F5 tor EF5 tornado can lift up most objects, except for very large buildings and similar objects.
Usually a tornado has to be at least an EF2 (estimated wind 111 to 135 mph) to lift a car.
It depends on the strength of the tornado. Weak tornadoes will lift up light objects such as small tree branches. Strong tornadoes have been known to lift up cars, trees, roofs, barns, and sometimes people and animals. Violent tornadoes have been known to lift up and throw heavy construction equipment, well constructed houses, and sometimes larger structures.
