A tornado can have stronger winds than a hurricane.
The very strongest tornadoes have winds just over 300mph while a the very strongest of hurricanes have winds of about 190 mph or sometimes more
However, tornadoes and hurricanes that strong are very rare.

∙ 11y agoA single hurricane releases the energy (in the form of heat energy, and 10% of that converts to the form of mechanical energy (wind power)) equal to a 10-megaton thermonuclear bomb every 20 MINUTES. and therefore, ONE hurricane releases more energy than ALL the nuclear bombs ever created, ever.

∙ 13y agoThe size of both hurricanes and blizzards varies, though in most cases they fall in to the same range of sizes, though some blizzards are larger than even very large hurricane.
A hurricane, though, is much more powerful than a blizzard.

What causes more damage a tornado a hurricane or an earthquake?
A hurricane
Why are wind waves and tsunami waves different?
Tsunamis are more distructive then regular tidal waves.And maybe more powerful than a hurricane or tornado.
Is a cyclone more close to a tornado or a hurricane?
A cyclone is more like a hurricane. In fact a hurricane is a type of cyclone.
Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?
There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.
Which is more destructive the winds of a hurricane or a tornado?
Generally tornado winds are more destructive that hurricane winds. Hurricane winds, however, cause damage over a much larger area than a tornado, so the overall amount of damage may be greater. The worst damage in a hurricane is usually the result of flooding.
What causes more damage a tornado a hurricane or an earthquake?
A hurricane
What is more powerful a hurricane or a tornanado?
A Hurricane is more powerful because they do indeed release much more energy than a torn. That mostly because a hurricane is much larger than a tornado. However, a tornado can be more violent than even the worst hurricane and cause more severe damage in a localized area. Hurricane winds can reach a maximum of about 190 mph and tornadoes over 300mph
What is more powerful a hurricane or an earthquake?
i think an earthquake is more powerful because the ground could crack everything shakes and breaks and if someone fell ain't no telling where they would end up...#who knows?
Which covers more hurricane or a tornado?
a hurricane
Why are wind waves and tsunami waves different?
Tsunamis are more distructive then regular tidal waves.And maybe more powerful than a hurricane or tornado.
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.
Is a tornado worse than a hurricane?
The winds in a tornado funnel are perhaps faster (and therefore more destructive) than a hurricane, but the diameter of a tornado is very very small compared with a hurricane.
Is a cyclone more close to a tornado or a hurricane?
A cyclone is more like a hurricane. In fact a hurricane is a type of cyclone.
What is several hundred miles in diameter a tornado or a hurricane?
A hurricane. A tornado is usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide.
What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?
Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.
Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?
There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all.
