Yes. A hurricane affects a much larger area than a tornado and so will likely cause more damage overall. Tornado damage is generally more severe than hurricane damage, but it is limited to a small area. There have been far more hurricanes than tornadoes that have caused more than $1 billion in damage.

Do tornadoes cause less damage or a hurricane?
It depends on the intensity and size of the tornado or hurricane. Generally, hurricanes tend to cause more widespread damage due to their larger size and longer duration. However, intense tornadoes can also cause significant damage in a localized area with extremely high winds.
Which is stronger a blizzard or a tornado?
A blizzard is a storm that brings heavy snow fall that has winds that rarely exceed 60 mph or more miles per A tornado has winds that can reach 200mph or more. blizzards cause less destruction and a tornado can cause a lot of destruction On average tornadoes kill more people than blizzards So a tornado is stronger than a blizzard.
What is more powerful a hurricane or a tornanado?
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
How does the size and strength of a tornado relate to the amount of destruction it cause?
Generally the stronger the tornado, the more severe the damage it causes. A large tornado can affect a larger area than a small tornado and therefore cause a greater quantity of damage, though it is not necessarily more severe.
Do Hurricane water usually causes more destruction than high winds do?
High winds do cause more damage
What is more expensive a tornado or a hurricane?
It depends on the individual event. In some cases both a tornado and a hurricane can cause minal damage, and the worst tornadoes have cost more than many hurricanes.

What causes more damage a hurricane or tornadoes?
A tornado can have much higher winds than a hurricane and cause incredible destruction, but it does it over a much smaller area. A hurricane can cause coastal flooding that sweeps away whole communities. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 killed between 8,000 and 12,000 people; it is still the deadliest natural disaster of any kind in US history. Hurricanes and tropical storms can also drop enormous amounts of rain, causing flooding many miles inland. Hurricanes cause widespread damage to the electrical distribution grid that can cause power outages over large areas for much longer periods of time. It is only the very strongest hurricanes that cause structural damage due to wind that can be compared to a tornado.
