How do tornadoes pick stuff up?

Tornadoes pick up objects by creating a strong rotating column of air that moves upwards and spins rapidly. The fast wind speeds within the tornado can lift and carry objects like debris, trees, and vehicles with significant force. The intensity of a tornado's winds and the size of the objects determine what it can pick up and carry.
