Generally not, unless the house is very poorly built. Typical F1 damage to a house includes holes torn in the roof or loss of the roof surface, peeled siding, broken windows, and possibly the collapse of a garage door.
See the links below for a few examples.

Can a iceblock house with stand a tornado?
An ice block house is unlikely to withstand a tornado due to its brittle and easily breakable nature. Tornadoes generate strong winds and debris that could easily penetrate and destroy a structure made of ice blocks. It is not a safe option for tornado-prone areas.
Why do F5 tornadoes have longer path then F1?
In most cases an F1 tornado does not have that much energy and soon runs out and is more easily disrupted, though a few F1 tornadoes have had long damage paths. By contrast an F5 tornado will generally have several orders of magnitude more energy to release. Additionally, such a strong tornado could be considered more robust. A shift in the parent storm that might cut can F1 tornado's lifespan and thus damage path short, while the same shift might only weaken an F5 tornado somewhat.
The house was damaged by the tornado but it could be repaired?
The tornado caused damage to the house, but it is repairable. With the necessary repairs and renovations, the house can be restored to its original condition.
In the movie The Wizard of Oz what kind of storm transports Dorothy's house to the Land of Oz?
In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's house is transported to the Land of Oz by a tornado.
How big or small was Dimmitt TX tornado lastnight of April 14th 017 and was it F1 F2 F3 F4 or F5 related?
The Dimmitt, Texas tornado of April 14, 2017 was rated EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, equivalent to an F3 on the Fujita scale. The tornado itself was estimated to be a little bit over a mile wide.
Why are trailer parks tornado magnets?
Trailer parks do not attract tornadoes. This is a misconception created by the fact that tornadoes rated F1 and F2 tornado can destroy a trailer but usually not a house. To destroy a house of standard or above standard construction would normally take an F3 or stronger tornado, tornadoes this strong are not as common as F1 and F2 tornadoes. Because a tornado does not have to be particularly intense to cause catestrophic damage to a trailer park, a tornado that strikes one is more likely to recieve media coverage.
Can a tornado destroy a house?
Yes. In a strong enough tornado wind and debris carried by the wind can destroy houses.
Can a F1 tornado cause any harm?
Yes, an F1 tornado can topple trees, break windows, strip away the surface of roofs, flip trailer homes, and completely destroy barns and outbuildings. They will occasionally kill and injure people.
What can an f2 tornado do?
An F2 tornado can tear the roof from a well built house and completely destroy a trailer.
How fast can a tornado brake a house?
The wind speed of a tornado can vary greatly, but it can reach over 300 mph. While a tornado's destructive power can be significant, the ability to completely destroy a house is influenced by various factors such as construction materials and the intensity of the tornado. In severe cases, a tornado can quickly demolish a house within seconds.
Can an f5 tornado destroy a 4 story house made of strong bricks?
Definitely
Can a waterspout destroy a beach house?
Well, yes and no. If the waterspout comes ashore and hits the beach house, it can destroy it. But if the waterspout comes ashore, it is no longer a waterspout - it is a tornado.
Would an F1 tornado kill you?
F1 tornadoes can kill, but they rarely do. So an F1 tornado is unlikely to kill you, but you should still take safety precautions to reduce your risk, especially since you can't tell how strong a tornado is before it hits.
How do F5 tornadoes form from a F1 tornado?
An F5 tornado does not form directly from an F1 tornado. Tornado intensity is determined by the Enhanced Fujita Scale based on wind speeds and damage. It is possible for a tornado to rapidly intensify due to various atmospheric conditions, leading to an increase in intensity from an F1 to an F5 tornado.
How many miles per hour is an f1 tornado?
F1 winds speeds are 71-112 miles per hour.
Which is bigger an F5 tornado or a F1 tornado?
In most cases an F5 tornado will be larger than an F1. However, tornado ratings are a measure of the strength of a tornado, not its size. F5 is the strongest category, and such tornadoes are usually very large, but a few have been fairly small. Conversely, F1 is the second lowest rating (F0 is the lowest) and such tornadoes are generally small, but some have been huge.
Has a f1 tornado killed a person?
Yes. F1 tornadoes rarely kill, but deaths have been recorded. In all they account for about 4% of tornado deaths in the United States.
