Both produce intense low pressure.
A tornado produces a greater pressure drop over a shorter distance than a hurricane.
Tornadoes and hurricanes both produce low pressure.
There is usually a calm area similar to the eye of a hurricane.
Winds spiral in toward the low pressure center of a tornado an build up great speed due to this pressure gradient. However, as they get into the outer part of the tornado's core they are actually spinning so fast that the low pressure cannot pull this air in any further. So the air at the center remains relatively calm. A similar phenomenon is what creates the eye of a hurricane.
The air pressure drops sharply in a tornado
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
A hurricane is associated with low air pressure.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.

The hole in the center of a tornado is formed in a similar way to the eye of a hurricane. Low pressure inside the tornado pulls air in. As the air moves in it starts spinning faster. At a certain point the tornado is spinning so far that air cannot make it all the way to the center. Instead, air moves down the center. This process is called vortex breakdown and usually only occurs in intense tornadoes.
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.
A wind spiraling outward typically refers to the circulation pattern of air in a low-pressure system, such as a hurricane or a tornado. In these systems, air flows from the center outward in a rotating fashion, creating strong winds and sometimes severe weather conditions.
