Hurricanes can be tracked and predicted over the course of days. Tornadoes usually take a few minutes to form, giving time to issue warnings. Tornadoes are often visible as funnels before the hit. Lightning, by comparison, occurs in a split second with no warning signs ahead of time and often kills instantly.
