What tornado strength would equal 892 millibars of hurricane strength?

There is no direct conversion between tornado strength and hurricane intensity as they are measured on different scales. Tornado strength is typically measured on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, while hurricane strength is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speeds. These scales are not directly comparable, so there is no equivalent rating between a tornado's EF scale and a hurricane's pressure in millibars.
