Comment on Can a tornado have the force to knock a cow into your house?

So, I’m no meteorologist, nor am I an expert in cows 🐄. But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say… yes… maybe? Theoretically tornadoes can in fact pick up whole houses… take for example (The wizard of oz). I have also seen on the news whole cars being thrown around. Yikes! 😳 😬…
I suppose it would have to be a strong enough tornado 🌪️, hitting the area you live exactly, to take the 🐄 and break and enter into your 🏠.
I’m reminded of the movie Barnyard and the farmer dude’s little tiff with his wife… “course there’s gonna be cows outside! It’s a cow farm!” Lmao

Houses are not the greatest example I think. It’s almost like saying a gentle breeze can move a massive sailboat. Better examples would be like rail cars that can be picked up. They don’t break apart into smaller and lighter pieces and have a much higher weight to surface area ratio so they don’t behave like sails.
