It depends on how strong the tornado is. A sod house could probably survive a hit from a weak tornado, but probably nothing stronger than an EF1 or EF2.

What type of damage do tornadoes do to homes?
It depends on the intensity of the tornado. Most tornadoes are rated EF0 or EF1. An EF0 tornado can remove some of the roof covering, take down gutters and awnings and strip off metal or vinyl siding. An EF1 tornado can break windows, severely strip and damage the roof, collapse the chimney, and destroy a porch. More rarely a tornado will reach EF2 or EF3 intensity. An EF2 tornado can remove all or most of the roof but leave most of the walls standing, though exterior walls may collapse. An EF3 tornado can cause the collapse of most walls, sometimes leaving only a few interior walls standing. In rare cases (about 1%) a tornado can reach EF4 or EF5 intensity. An EF4 tornado can cause the collapse of all walls in a house, leaving a pile of rubble. An EF5 tornado (less than .1% of all tornadoes) can completely annihilate a house and wipe it clean of its foundation.
