Yes; The engineering team at Texas Tech's Institute for Disaster Research (Minor et al., 1977) points out that the pressure drop inside a tornado with 260 mph winds is only about 10%, or just 1.4 pounds per square inch. In the real world, the discussion is pointless. That violent a tornado would totally blow apart a structure before the central low pressure (center of mature tornado) ever arrived.
see source for more info, I hope this helps.

Any weather system having a whirling (rotating) motion of winds will definitely have a pressure gradient with a low pressure inside and high pressure outside.
