No; hurricanes are named off a list determined before the season even begins. It's possible that a hurricane name will be retired and one day replaced with your name, though.You can also check on Wikipedea if your name is on there. Just type in in the search, Hurricane _______ <---Your name goes there. If you get a page that has more than just one hurricane (i.e. 1994 Atlantic Hurricane season) then you should look in that page's table of contents to see your name (they are in alphabetical order) If your name is like a really well know hurricane, such as Hugo or Katrina or Andrew, than congrats!!

A Hurricane is more powerful because they do indeed release much more energy than a torn. That mostly because a hurricane is much larger than a tornado. However, a tornado can be more violent than even the worst hurricane and cause more severe damage in a localized area. Hurricane winds can reach a maximum of about 190 mph and tornadoes over 300mph
