No. The flooding an storm surge from a a tropical cyclone can wash houses away, but cyclone winds lack a significant vertical component to lift things, and generally are not strong enough to blow away houses.
However, tornadoes of EF4 and EF5 intensity have been known to lift houses.

How can tornadoes lift houses?
Generally only the strongest tornadoes, those rated EF4 and EF5, can lift houses. In a tornado air spirals upward rapidly, which is why they can lift objects into the air. The stronger the wind, the heavier things it can lift. In the strongest tornadoes this upward component of the wind is strong enough to tear houses from their foundations and lift them into the air. A tornado of EF3 or perhaps even EF2 intensity can lift a house that is not properly anchored.
