Tornadoes are accompanied by rain, but they do not produce it themselves. Rather, the rain is a product of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado. Hurricanes produce very heavy rain.

What is the difference between tornado and hurricane's?

Some of the damage cause by wind is actually quite similar, however damage from a tornado is often more severe than the wind damage from a tornado. This is because tornadoes can have far stronger winds than hurricanes and because the vertical component of a tornado's winds make them more damaging than purely horizontal winds of the same speed. However, while a tornado can only cause damage through wind and debris carried by it, a hurricane can also cause major flooding. The flooding from hurricanes, from both the storm surge and torrential rain, can cause significant water damage and sometimes washes structures away.

What kind of raining is in a tornado and hurricane?

Hurricanes produce very heavy rain, enough to pose a very serious flooding risk. The rain is shredded into smaller droplest by the powerful winds and appear to move in an almost horizontal direction. Heavy rain, often accompanied by hail, generally prececes a tornado, but often stops before the tornado hits. The tornado itself is often in a rain-free portion of a thunderstorm. However, some tornadoes are rain-wrapped. The rain can range anywhere from a drizzel to a torrential downpour that blocks the tornado from view.

Can a tornado and hurricane collide?

No. Hurricanes and tornadoes operate on completely different scales, so they can't exactly collide. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to form in the outer rain bands of a hurricane.
