Hurricane
A tornado is one of the most severe forms of weather, in a localized area. A hurricane or typhoon is a bigger storm over a much wider area, but the tornado does more damage in one spot than a hurricane would.
A hurricane They produce STRONG winds, tornadoes, severe thunder storms, ect.
No, the eye of a storm is actually the calmest part of a storm. It is a region of low pressure, with light winds and often clear skies. The most severe weather and strongest winds occur in the eyewall surrounding the eye.
Usually tornadoes are found in the southwest quadrant of the thunderstorm, which is the updraft portion, usually at the back of the storm.

Yes, a severe storm warning indicates that severe weather conditions are expected in the area, including potentially dangerous thunderstorms. It is advised to seek shelter indoors and stay away from windows until the storm passes to stay safe from potential hazards like lightning, strong winds, and hail.
Hurricanes cause most of their death and destruction through something called a storm surge. The storm surge results from the hurricane's winds forcing seawater onto land. This storm surge can lead to severe coastal flooding.
The calm area in the center of a storm, like a hurricane or typhoon, is called the "eye." The eye is a region of low pressure and calm weather, surrounded by the eyewall where the most severe weather occurs. The size of the eye can vary but is typically clear and sunny with light winds.
A storm case is a type of protective case that is designed to be used during severe weather conditions. One of the most popular manufacturers of this type of case is Pelican.
Severe Thunderstorms can form hail, which is like ice balls. Hail can really hurt if it hits you on the head! Hail can be a large as 6" in diameter. Almost the size of a volleyball. Of course, lightning and thunder. Remember, lightning can strike in the same place more than once. When there is a Severe Thunderstorm Warning in the area, if you are outside, get inside. If the storm produces hail, it can really hurt if it hits you. Tornadoes can also drop out of Severe Thunderstorms, if the storm has rotation within it. If there is a Tornado Warning in the area, get inside and stay inside. Get into the basement, however, the most important thing is to get below ground level. Therefore, if you outside, you'll need to get into a ditch.
Tornadoes originate from severe thunderstorms, most often a type of rotating storm called a supercell.
