The maximum winds of a hurricane are less than a tornado. However there are a lot of things to consider. (1) Hurricanes can last for days. (2) Hurricanes bring flooding from rain and tidal surge. (3) Hurricanes do a lot of wind damage. (4) A tornado might cover a path up to a mile wide and travel for many miles. A hurricane may cover several hundred miles wide and travel for thousands of miles. (5) One very big problem with hurricanes is that they may spawn many tornados which magnifies the damage.
