No. A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours. A hurricane warning means hurricane conditions are expected in the next 36 hours. So a warning indicates a greater danger.

Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?
There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.

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.
