Tornadoes are smaller compared with other storms because they are generated by processes at the microscale and lower end of the mesoscale of weather events. In other words, storm features less than a mile to just a few miles in size.
Wind speed is largely determined by how much the pressure drops in a given distance. The greater the pressure difference in a give space, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce a significant pressure drop at their centers, comparable to the pressure deficits of hurricanes, but over a much shorter distance.
The year with the most violent tornadoes on record was 1974, with a total of 36 tornadoes rated as violent.
Most violent tornadoes (F4 and F5) occur in the months of March-June.
The most violent tornadoes generally occur in North America.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes are the most violent storms on Earth. As such a tornado will usually be the most violent part of its parent storm.
Violent tornadoes have been recorded in most states east of the Rockies. However, most of the violent tornadoes occur on the Great Plains in the central part of the country.
A tornado is a violent weather event the most violent in fact. Tornadoes are produce by thunderstorms and are, in simple terms, extremely violent rotating windstorms.
All tornadoes are considered a violent weather events in general terms. However, less than 1% of tornadoes attain a violent rating of EF4 or EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
Weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1) are by far the most common accounting for 89% of all tornadoes. Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3) are next, accounting for about 10% of tornadoes. Finally come violent (EF4 and EF5) tornadoes, which account for less than 1% of all tornadoes.
A tornado anywhere is a violent event. If you mean by the technical definition of a violent tornado, one rated EF4 or EF5, such tornadoes do occur fairly regularly in Tornado Alley, but make up a very small minority of the tornadoes that occur there. As with most places, most of the tornadoes in Tornado Alley are rated EF0 or EF1.

Yes, Hurricanes and tornadoes are the two most violent types of storm on earth.
