No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.

Does lightning kill more people than Hurricanes or tornadoes?
It kills more than either group on their own, but not more than hurricanes and tornadoes combined.
Can tornadoes be formed by hurricanes?
Yes. It is farily common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes. However, a hurricane will rarely produce tornadoes stronger than EF2.
Are hurricanes longer than tornadoes?
Tornadoes are both much larger than tornadoes and last much longer.
Which has higher wind speed hurricanes or tornadoes?
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Is a Tropical storm smaller or larger then tornadoes and hurricanes?
Tropical storms are often, but not always, smaller than hurricanes. They are much bigger than tornadoes.
Why are hurricanes less violent then tornadoes?
They are in no way 'less violent'. They may seem it because tornadoes traval faster than a hurricane but, hurricanes last much longer and take more lives than a tornado does.
What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
The statements "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" and "Hurricanes have strong winds" are both true. Tornadoes most certainly can kill people.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.

There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Which storms cover large areas hurricanes or tornadoes?
Hurricanes cover large areas typically hundreds of miles across. Tornadoes are small in meteorological terms, often affecting less than a square mile of area.
Is a Tropical storm smaller or larger then tornadoes and hurricanes?
Tropical storms are often, but not always, smaller than hurricanes. They are much bigger than tornadoes.
What are tornadoes and do they occur during hurricanes?
A tornado is a violently rotating vortex of air extending from the cloud base of a thunderstorm to the ground. It is fairly common for tornadoes to form during hurricanes, but most tornadoes are associated with other types of storm system. The tornadoes spawned from hurricanes are actually less likely to reach a high intensity than those produced by mid-latitude systems.
Does a hurricane come before a tornado?
No. While many hurricanes do produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are the result of storm systems other than hurricanes. Addtionally, the tornadoes that do form in hurricanes usually form along the front part of the storm.
