It depends on the individual event. In some cases both a tornado and a hurricane can cause minal damage, and the worst tornadoes have cost more than many hurricanes. That said, overall, hurricanes egenerally cost more as they impact a larger area. The highest cost of damage for a hurricane (inflation ajusted to 2013 dollars) was $128 billion from Hurricane Katrina while the highest cost of damage froma tornado was $2.9 billion from the Joplin, Missouri tornado.
