Can a tornado lift a house out of the ground?

Yes. Houses have been move by tornadoes. However, in most cases the house does not make it out intact.
How can Bernoulli's principle be used to predict how a house may be damaged in a tornado?
Bernoulli's principle explains that as wind speed increases, air pressure decreases. In a tornado, high wind speeds can cause a drop in air pressure, increasing the force exerted on a house. This can lead to structural damage as the force of the wind pushes against the walls and roof of the house.
Can a tornado pick up a brick house?
Yes, it is possible but it would take a very powerful tornado to do so. One of at least EF4 strength if the house isn't well anchored. If it is well anchored it would likely require an EF5 tornado. One person managed to capture such an event on video near the town of Elie, Manitoba on June 22, 2007. Despite the tornado's relatively small size it was violent enough to be rated as Canada's only official F5 tornado.
What is an F2 tornado?
F2 is a rating on the Fujita scale, which assess tornado intensity based on damage. The scale runs from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. F2 indicates a strong tornado (most tornadoes are F0 or F1) that can tear the roof from a well-built house and lift cars off the ground.

In severe cases, a tornado can quickly demolish a house within seconds.

Why are storm cellars or the center of a house safer during tornadoes?
The basic idea in tornado safety is to put as much between yourself and the tornado as possible to protect yourself from the wind and debris. In the center part of a house, you will generally have at least two walls between you and the tornado, which will shield you from the vast majority of storms. In a storm cellar it is even better as you are protected by the ground itself. Since you are underground, nothing can come from the side.
