Best Answer

Both tornadoes and hurricanes can cause severe wind damage. These include uprooted and snapped trees, destroyed trailers, and roofs removed from houses.

Aside from this damage is very different as the damage from tornadoes is often more severe on a localized than that of hurricanes.

Most hurricane damage is the result of flooding rather than wind.
