Some hurricanes are larger than others, but they are still large by human standards. The smallest tropical cyclone (the generic term for storms such as hurricanes) on record to have reached hurricane intensity was Cyclone Tracy, which struck Australia in Dcember 1974. Gale force winds extended only 12 miles from the center.

Can tornados give rise to hurricanes?
No, tornadoes are far to small and short lived to produce or influence something as large as a hurricane. Hurricanes form from large (synoptic scale) storm system over water ocean water. However hurricanes often do cause tornadoes.

Tornadoes are cyclonic while hurricanes are?
Both tornadoes and hurricanes are cyclonic in nature, but they differ in size and scale. Tornadoes are small, localized, and form in severe thunderstorms, while hurricanes are larger, organized storm systems that develop over warm ocean waters. Additionally, tornadoes typically last for a short period of time, whereas hurricanes can persist for days or even weeks.
Can a small hurricane effect the community?
Yes. A small hurricane does not mean a weak hurricane. Hurricane Andrew, which was rather small as hurricanes go, hit Florida at category 5 strength, devastating parts of Miami.
Why the hurricanes only form in seas and don't form in rivers?
Hurricanes require a very large, deep mass of warm water to provide the moisture they need for "fuel." The only thing large enough and deep enough to serve that purpose is the ocean. Rivers are too shallow and far too small to power hurricanes.
