Air in a tornado travels upward rapidly. In some cases it takes objects with it.
Tornadoes are more likely to lift lighter objects as they generate an upward force with their strong winds. Heavier objects may be more difficult for tornadoes to lift unless they are caught in the vortex of the tornado's winds.
It depends on the intensity of the tornado. Weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1) can lift some small debris, such as shingles and small roof sections. Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3) can easily lift roofs and pieces of wood. Road vehicles may be tossed short distances. Some EF3 tornadoes have been know to lift trees into the air. Violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5) have been known to lift very large and heavy objects including trains, buildings, and heavy construction equipment.
Yes. Even very weak tornadoes will lift dust and twigs. Stronger tornadoes can lift roofs, garages, barns, and some vehicles. The most violent tornadoes will lift large trucks, train cars, and even well built houses.
It depends on the strength of the tornado. Weak tornadoes will lift up light objects such as small tree branches. Strong tornadoes have been known to lift up cars, trees, roofs, barns, and sometimes people and animals. Violent tornadoes have been known to lift up and throw heavy construction equipment, well constructed houses, and sometimes larger structures.
Yes, tornadoes have the potential to lift up anything that is not securely anchored to the ground. The stronger the tornado, the more powerful its lifting capability. This lifting force can result in debris being carried through the air and deposited at great distances from the origin point.

No. Extremely heavy objects are unlikely to be lifted in even the most violent tornadoes. Most tornadoes are not particularly destructive, and only lift relatively light objects.
Yes. Tornadoes often lift objects into the air and can carry them long distances.

Tornadoes can lift objects weighing up to several tons. The lifting force of a tornado is primarily a result of its strong updraft, which can exceed 300 mph in the most powerful tornadoes. This force is capable of lifting heavy objects such as vehicles, trees, and even structures, demonstrating the immense power and destructive potential of tornadoes.
They could definitely. Tornadoes do not interact with magnetic fields, but most magnets are very small objects that a tornado would lift up just like it would a pebble. In all the objects carried away when tornadoes have destroyed houses, a few magnets were probably among the debris.
Most likely yes. EF2 tornadoes have lifted larger objects than that.
Yes, tornadoes have the potential to lift up anything that is not securely anchored to the ground. The stronger the tornado, the more powerful its lifting capability. This lifting force can result in debris being carried through the air and deposited at great distances from the origin point.
Tornadoes can pick up large objects such as vehicles and trees. In rare cases, tornadoes have been known to lift and move structures like houses or barns.
No. Most tornadoes are not strong enough to lift very heavy objects. Very violent tornadoes can pick up structures such as houses and churches but even tornadoes like that only produce such winds along a relatively small portion of the damage path.
