Yes. Much bigger. The eye of a hurricane is larger than the whole tornado in nearly all cases. The eye of a hurricane is usually 20 to 40 miles wide The smallest hurricane eye on record was 2.3 miles wide. Only a few tornadoes have been larger than this. The largest tornado ever recorded was 2.6 miles wide. The typical tornado is 50 to 100 yards wide.
What else can I help you with?

Does a hurricane get bigger when its eye pressure decreases?
No, a hurricane's size is typically influenced more by its environment and atmospheric conditions than by changes in its eye pressure. While changes in the eye pressure can impact the storm's intensity and structure, they do not necessarily cause the storm to physically grow in size.
What is the middel of a tornado called?
The center of a tornado is often informally called an "eye" such as that in a hurricane. In technical terms it is called a weak-echo hole.
