In a tornado, unlike in other wind storms, air travel upward as well as horizontally. This allows a tornado to lift objects into the air. Sometimes to great heights. Unlike other major wind events, where wind is mostly horizontal, the wind in a tornado has a vertical component as it spirals upward rapidly. This upward-moving wind can carry objects with it.

Do tornadoes suck things in?
Yes.
Do tornadoes suck in things and why?
No, tornadoes do not suck in things like a vacuum. Tornadoes are powerful rotating columns of air, and they primarily cause damage through the strong winds and intense rotation. However, their winds can pick up and transport objects, including debris, which can then be thrown by the tornado or scattered downstream.
In what way are tornadoes like giant vacuum cleaners?
Because they are both like a fat guy suck everything up and then dispose of it when their done. However fat guys don't give things back up as fast as tornados and vacuum cleaners
What is two things that has been nown as to be picked up in a tornado?
Tornadoes have lifted many things. Strong tornadoes have been known to lift up large vehicles, trees, and even buildings.
Can a tornado pick up heavy things?
Yes. Tornadoes are incredibly powerful.
What kind of pressure makes tornadoes suck things up?
Low pressure
Do tornadoes suck things in?
Yes.
How does a tornado suck up all things?
No. Extremely heavy objects are unlikely to be lifted in even the most violent tornadoes. Most tornadoes are not particularly destructive, and only lift relatively light objects.
Do tornadoes suck?
Yes. Tornadoes suck literally and (if one hits you house) figuratively.

How does a tornado suck up everything in its path?
Most tornadoes do not suck up everything in their path, because most are not strong enough. But tornadoes can lift objects because in addition to their powerful rotating winds they have a very strong updraft.
Do tornadoes affect fish?
Powerful tornadoes have the ability to suck up large quantities of water including whatever is in that water. Fish and frogs have rained down from the sky as a result of tornadoes.
Can tornadoes carry up water?
Ultimately, all of them do. Most tornadoes do not form on water, but all of them develop from thunderstorms. Thunderstorms ge their energy from moisture in the atmosphere.
Why is a tornado able to suck up anything in its path?
Most tornadoes cannot "suck up" much more than small objects. Tornadoes can suck in and lift objects as the low pressure pulls air inward at great speed. In the tornado air then travels upward rapidly, often carrying some objects with it.
Things that can suck up other things?
Vacuum.
Are there such things like double tornadoes?
There are multivortex tornadoes that at times can look like they are made up of two or more tornadoes
Can tornadoes really suck up people and put them down unharmed?
Yes. Tis has happened in a few cases.
