Hurricanes and tornadoes are two storms that are often confused, though they are very different from a scientific pserpective. They are the two most violent types of storm on Earth. Some hurricanes spawn tornadoes when they hit land, though these tornadoes are generally weaker than those spanwed by other systems. Hurricanes often cause major flooding when they strike. In fact, 90% of all hurricane deaths are drownings.
