The convection of relatively warm air creates a circular, upward movement, causing a low pressure zone (partial vacuum). Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, like the center of the hurricane.

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.
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.
Does a tornado suck or blow wind?
Tornadoes suck air inward and upward. Close to the center of the tornado there is little inward motion. There the wind mostly moves in a circle and upwards.
Does the Milky Way black hole suck stuff up?
Yes, all black holes 'suck stuff up'.

What kind of pressure makes tornadoes suck things up?

Do all tornadoes mess up stuff?
No. Some tornadoes stay in open fields and don't cause any damage.
Can tornadoes really suck up people and put them down unharmed?
Yes. Tis has happened in a few cases.
Can a tornado suck up people?
Tornadoes can lift people up, but they usually are thrown out of the vortex before being carried very high. Most of the people killed in tornadoes are struck or crushed by debris.
How do tornadoes pick stuff up?
Air in a tornado move upward rapidly and can carry objects with it.
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.
