Is a hurricane bad or a tornado?
Both natural disasters are equally terrible. Magnitude may affect how badly humans, animals, and the environment are affected. Hurricanes are classified by wind speed... A Category 1 hurricane would have winds up to 95 mph winds, while a Category 5 hurricane would have greater than 156 mph winds. A tornado is classified a little differently... according to the Fujita Scale, a tornado is classified by damage. Both a hurricane and a tornado have the potential to cause an equal amount of damage; a tornado might be more concentrated, while a hurricane could be more widespread. Overall, though, hurricanes can cause more damage. There have been many more hurricanes that caused over $1 billion in damage than tornadoes with the same amount, and more hurricanes than tornadoes with death tolls over 500.
