No. That is a myth. The fast-moving winds and flying debris of a tornado are what destroy houses.
The pressure difference produced by a tornado is not enough to cause significant damage, and is equalized pretty quickly anyway.

Do tornados' low pressure often makes houses explode?
No. That notion is a myth that has been debunked. Tornadoes destroy houses with wind and debris.
Which type of front most often causes tornadoes?
Tornadoes most often form in association with cold fronts.
Why is the highest wind speed tornadoes?
In simple terms pressure differences create wind. As a general rule, the more the pressure changes over a given distance, the faster the wind. Tornadoes are small in weather terms, but have extremely low pressure inside. The large pressure drop over a short distance, often just a few hundred feet, then creates extreme winds that, in rare cases, can exceed 300 mph.
What precipitation is in tornadoes?
Tornadoes are usually preceded or shrouded by heavy rain and often by hail.
What temp and weather comes before a tornado?
Tornadoes are often, but not always, preceded by hot weather. Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms and so are often preceded by heavy rain and sometimes hail.
Does a tornado's low air pressure often make houses explode?
No. Tornadoes tear houses apart with wind and debris. The notion that the low pressure inside a tornado makes houses explode has been disproven.
Do tornados' low pressure often makes houses explode?
No. That notion is a myth that has been debunked. Tornadoes destroy houses with wind and debris.
Can footballs explode?
Footballs can definitely explode if they are under great pressure. This pressure is often caused by exposing the football to extremely high temperatures.
Are tornadoes associated with anti cyclones?
No, anticyclones are high-pressure systems and are generally associate with fair weather. Tornadoes are more often associated with fronts and low pressure systems or cyclones.
Can a tornado happen in a high pressure system?
It is possible but unlikely. Tornadoes need thunderstorms to develop and high pressure systems suppress thunderstorm formation. Those thunderstorms that do develop in a high pressure system will generally not be strong enough or organized enough to produce tornadoes. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes more often occur along fronts which are associated with low pressure systems.
What is the characteristic cloud of a tornado?
Tornadoes are often made visible by a funnel cloud, which forms as a result of the pressure drop inside the tornado.
Is hail often found in Tornadoes?
No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
Does tornadoes have rain?
Tornadoes themselves do not produce rain but they are often accompanied by it.
Do Tornadoes change shape?
Yes, tornadoes often change in appearance.
Another name you call tornadoes?
Tornadoes are often called twisters.
Where and how often do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes happen all around the world and it depend on your location as to how many tornadoes you will have.
What time of the year the tornadoes most often occurs?
Tornadoes most often occur in Spring and early summer.
