It depends on the strength of the tornado. Weak tornadoes (EF0 an EF1) can lift soil and very light objects.
Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3) can lift people, roofs from houses, road vehicles, and occasionally trees.
Violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5) can lift buildings.
Some very large or very strong structures may not be moved. The reactor of a nuclear power plant can withstand much more than a tornado, and large building complexes cannot be moved either, though large sections may be destroyed.
