The a many differences but here are the most important:

How Can there be a tornado and a hurricane at the same time?
It is not possible for a tornado and a hurricane to occur simultaneously in the same location. Tornadoes can occur within hurricanes, but they typically form in different ways and under different conditions. Hurricane-force winds can cause tornadoes to develop in the outer bands of the storm.
Are hurricanes and tornadoes both spinning storms that start over water?
No. While they are both spinning storms, tornadoes, unlike hurricanes, can and frequently do form over land.
Is an EF5 tornado worse than a category 5 hurricane?
It depends. Hurricane ratings are based on measured wind speed, so a hurricane can become a category 5 but stay at sea, causing no damage. Tornado ratings are based on damage severity, so if a tornado is rated EF5, at least one well-built structure must have been completely obliterated. However, a hurricane that makes landfall at category 5 intensity can be expected to be much worse than most EF5 tornadoes.
