No. From the ground a hurricane looks mostly like a very intense storm with extreme wind and torrential rain.

Viewed from space a hurricane typically has a spiral shape to it, often with an eye in the center.

How do you tell a tornado from a hurricane?

A tornado is a small storm, rarely over a mile wide that is associated with a single powerful thunderstorm. A tornado is made visible by a condensation funnel and/or debris cloud. A hurricane is an enormous storm system hundreds of miles across. Hurricanes bring strong winds and heavy rain. They are so large that their overall structure can only be seen from space. See the related links for a more detailed answer and pictures of what tornadoes and hurricanes often look like.
