Best Answer

A tornado has low pressure at its center and a powerful updraft. As a result air rapidly rushes inward and upward, sometimes carrying things with it.

What are the odds of being sucked up in a tornado?

depends on the strength of it. if your sheltered, you should be fine. but if your outside during a tornado it's possible. **The odds are good if you are caught without cover underground in a F3 tornado. You do not actually get sucked up but blown away in the strong wind. Reports say that the actual danger does not come from being carried away by the winds but having being hit by large flying stuff picked up also.
