What is the difference between tornado and hurricane's?

Answer 1

Some of the damage cause by wind is actually quite similar, however damage from a tornado is often more severe than the wind damage from a tornado. This is because tornadoes can have far stronger winds than hurricanes and because the vertical component of a tornado's winds make them more damaging than purely horizontal winds of the same speed. However, while a tornado can only cause damage through wind and debris carried by it, a hurricane can also cause major flooding. The flooding from hurricanes, from both the storm surge and torrential rain, can cause significant water damage and sometimes washes structures away.
