Hurricane Edith. Learn more on Google search up (HURRICANE EDITH) jonhstown flood ding-dongs The National Hurricane Center never reported a storm named Edith hitting Long Island. It reports seven storms named Edith. The last was in 1971, where it made landfall in Central America as a Category 5 storm. Very nasty. One of the smallest hurricanes was Hurricane Kyle, which made landfall in New England in 2008. In the US, it killed two people who were on the beach at the time and caused $115,000 in damage. Any Cat 1 hurricane is going to be very small, but this one was not too bad. (In Puerto Rico this storm trashed $23 million in crops.)

∙ 13y agoThe smallest tornadoes are only a few feet wide and are informally. These tornadoes and other narrow-looking tornadoes are called rope tornadoes.
The weakest type of tornado, though not necessarily the smallest is the EF0.

∙ 12y agoTornadoes are usually designated by their Fujita classification, location, and date. So, these very weak tornadoes, lacking a Fujita classification, would be called by their location and date.
Related Information:
It should be noted that, Fujita classifications are indications of intensity rather than size. While size and intensity are loosely related, they are not the same, but are often confused.
The very narrowest (smallest funnel diameter) tornadoes are often referred to, informally, as ropes.
On the Fujita scale, the weakest tornadoes would not be classified at all (lowest classification (F0) carries winds of 40 - 72 miles per hour). Although, some observers add a category (F+) for tornadoes with winds under 40mph, so this designation could possibly be used.

∙ 9y agoA tornado is by far the the smallest. The average tornado is 50 yards (150 feet) wide some tornadoes are under 10 yards (30 feet ) wide. The wides tornado ever recorded was 2.5 miles wide.
Hurricanes and typhoons are essentially the same thing, the only difference is where they occur. Both are strong tropical cyclones with winds of at least 74 mph. The smallest tropical cyclone recorded was 60 miles wide, more than 20 times bigger than the largest tornado.
The largest tropical cyclone recorded was 1350 miles wide.
