In some ways, yes. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are potentially destructive storms with violent winds that revolve around a center of low pressure. They are also quite different. Tornadoes are much smaller and shorter-lived than hurricanes but can produce more severe wind damage. Another key difference is that while a hurricane is its own self-sustaining storm system a tornado is dependent on a parent thunderstorm.
What else can I help you with?

Is a tornado associated with hurricanes?
It is not uncommon for a hurricane to produce tornadoes at landfall. But most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes and not all hurricanes produce tornadoes.
Why are tornadoes similar to hurricanes?
Both are violent, rotating storms but other than that they are quite different.
Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in space?
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
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?
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
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.
What is the reationship between hurricanes and tornadoes?
It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall.
Are there hurricanes and tornadoes in the Caribbean and Bahamas?
Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.
