Most tornadoes probably could not, but a high-end EF4 or EF5 most likely could. Tornadoes of that intensity have been known to lift up very heavy objects including parking bumpers, construction equipment, train cars, and even buildings. One EF5 tornado in Alabama picked up an anchored 800 lb safe and threw it 600 feet. When the safe was found its door had been torn off.

Where can you find the center of a tornado?
