No, the roof to Dorothy Gale's house isn't blown off by a tornado in either the original 1900 book edition or the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. What happens instead is the separation of the house from its foundation. The only thing that the house loses in the cyclone is the below ground part under the trap door in the floor.

When viewers don't see the funnel on screen, they nevertheless see the impact of its activity. The funnel and all tornado activity end 36 seconds before the end of the scene. Its passing is seen in the house settling, and the window curtains blowing back and forth and then settling in place too. The tornado-related scene ends with Dorothy looking out at Munchkinland, from the door of her displaced, but settled house.

What were two impossibilities in the otherwise excellent tornado scene in The Wizard of Oz?
Answer #1 People were riding by the window and able to talk; and the tornado transported her house intact to another world. Both were done for narrative purposes, and so there should be no complaints. Answer #2 Dorothy would never have made it along the fence and into the house, what with the ferocious strength and nearness of the twister. She would have been blown away, and the house wouldn't have been left standing. For the cyclone had to have been closer than 1-1/2 miles away. However, the impossibility was due most likely to having to combine two elements critical to the story within the limitations of the viewing area: the fact of the cyclone getting ready to blow away the house, and the necessity of getting Dorothy and Toto inside so that they could be blown away also. The force of the tornado sent the window glass and curtains blowing inwards. A real-life tornado would have sent the window glass and curtains blowing outwards.
