depends on the strength of it. if your sheltered, you should be fine. but if your outside during a tornado it's possible.
**The odds are good if you are caught without cover underground in a F3 tornado. You do not actually get sucked up but blown away in the strong wind. Reports say that the actual danger does not come from being carried away by the winds but having being hit by large flying stuff picked up also.

you practically don't go anywhere you just get blown away
A tornado has low pressure at its center and a powerful updraft. As a result air rapidly rushes inward and upward, sometimes carrying things with it.
Most tornadoes don't pick up, kill , or injure anyone. When it does happen it is usually no more than a few people; most tornado deaths are from being hit o crushed by debris. Exact figure are difficult to determine as this is not the sort of thing of which extensive records are kept.

Air in and near a tornado spirals inward and upward very rapidly. The strong winds can pick up objects to carry with them.
The tornado sucked the car right up into the air. The vortex below those rapids sucked my canoe right out from under me!

Air is continuously moving up in a tornado. This means that air surrounding the tornado must move in to replace the rising air.

Objects get sucked up into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the vortex, which creates a strong upward suction force. This force can lift and carry debris, dust, and even larger objects into the funnel cloud.

A sand tornado is not a true tornado but a phenomenon called a dust devil. A dust devil takes for form of a whirling cloud of dust as dust is sucked up by the vortex. It may appear tubelike and gradually fades into nothing farther up.
