How long does it take for a hurricane to form from a thunderstorm?

A hurricane does not form from a single thunderstorm. A tornado does. Often a thunderstorm has upper-level rotation for at least half an hour or more before producing a tornado, however, some storms develop and become tornadic in less than 15 minutes.
Hurricanes form from large, usually disorganized clusters of storms. It may take days for these clusters of storms to organize intro a tropical depression (tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph). It will usually be several more days before such a system reaches hurricane strength (winds of at least 74 mph).

Are hurricane's warning longer than tornadoes?
Yes hurricanes take a long time to form and may exist for weeks. Tornadoes on the other hand form quickly and exist for only minuets. You therefor get a longer warning about a hurricane than you do about a tornado.

How did hurricane Isaac start?
Hurricanes form in tropical regions where there is warm water, typically at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 27 degrees Celsius, moist air and converging equatorial winds. Most Atlantic hurricanes begin off the west coast of Africa and start out as thunderstorms that move out over the warm and tropical ocean waters. A thunderstorm reaches hurricane status in three stages. A tropical depression has swirling clouds and rain with wind speeds of less than 38 miles per hour. A tropical storm has wind speeds of 39 to 73 miles per hour and a hurricane has wind speeds greater than 74 miles per hour. It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to several days for a thunderstorm to develop into a hurricane. Chances are Hurricane Isaac began the same way most every hurricane starts.
