Pressure inside a tornado is very low.
Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid (or air) increases, its pressure decreases. During a tornado, the fast-moving air above the roof creates low pressure, while the slower-moving air below the roof creates higher pressure. This pressure difference can create lift force that can cause roofs to be lifted during a tornado.
Air pressures during a tornado can vary greatly, but they typically decrease significantly in the vicinity of the tornado. The lowest pressures are usually found at the center of the tornado, where the most intense winds are located. Pressure drops during tornadoes can be drastic and are often associated with the destructive forces of the storm.
Air rushes into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the storm. The surrounding higher pressure air flows in to fill the low pressure area, creating the strong winds characteristic of a tornado.
In a tornado, air pressure decreases at the center of the funnel due to the rapidly rotating winds. This decrease in pressure is what causes buildings to implode and debris to be lifted into the air. On the outer edges of the tornado, air pressure may increase due to the convergence of winds entering the tornado.
Air rushes into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the vortex, which creates a pressure gradient that pulls surrounding air inward. As the warm, moist air converges towards the tornado, it begins to spin due to the Earth's rotation and the updraft created by the storm, eventually forming the tornado.
Your ears pop when air pressure changes. The pressure inside a tornado is much lower than its surroundings.
The air pressure drops sharply in a tornado
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.

The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.

Yes the pressure drops as the tornado forms and progresses. The tornado's lowest pressure is in the center.
Air rushes into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the storm. The surrounding higher pressure air flows in to fill the low pressure area, creating the strong winds characteristic of a tornado.
Air pressure drops near a tornado due to the strong updrafts within the storm. The low pressure in the center of the tornado causes air from the surroundings to be drawn in, leading to a drop in air pressure in the immediate vicinity of the tornado.

No. Air in a tornado rapidly rises in altitude. Air may sink gently in the centers of some tornadoes. As a tornado strikes, air pressure drops rapidly.
