Why is it that typically winds speeds in tornadoes are faster than wind speeds in hurricanes but hurricanes inflict more overall damage?
There are two reasons. First, while damage from a hurricane is usually less severe than that of a tornado, a hurricane covers a much larger area, so damage is more widespread. Second, much of the damage from hurricanes is not caused by wind, but by flooding.
How do you find out the strength of a tornado?
The strength of a tornado is determined by the damage it does to man-made structures and vegetation. When a structure takes damage from a tornado, the degree of damage, the type of structure, and its quality of construction are used to estimate the strength of the winds that caused that damage. This is then used to sort the tornado into one of six intensity categories of the Enhanced Fujita Scale, ranging from EF0 at the weakest to EF5 at the strongest.
