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.

Can you hide in a highway overpass from a tornado?
No. A highway overpass does not offer protection from a tornado, and actually puts you at greater risk by acting as a wind tunnel, causing wind to speed up. Additionally, by parking under a bridge you can cause traffic to back up, which puts even more people at risk by trapping them in the potential path of a tornado.

Do tornadoes keep everything they have or do they sit some back up?
If you mean to say to tornadoes take away everything they touch, no. Some stuff they leave in place depending on how strong the tornado is. If you mean to ask if everything a tornado picks up stays with the tornado or ends up back where it started, then the answer is neither. When a tornado picks something up it will stay airborne for a bit but will eventually fall back down somewhere else or end up stuck in something such as a tree or a wall.
