Definitely hurricanes.

A hurricane can maintain hurricane strength for hours after landfall and tropical storm status even longer.

By comparison the average tornado lasts 10 minutes. It is very rare for a tornado to last more than an hour.

Do hurricanes and tornadoes both spin in the storm and start over water?

Hurricanes and tornadoes both exhibit rotational movement; hurricanes spin in a cyclonic pattern due to the Earth's rotation and form over warm ocean waters, while tornadoes typically develop from thunderstorms on land. Hurricanes require warm ocean water to strengthen, whereas tornadoes can occur over land or water but generally form in severe weather conditions. Both phenomena are distinct in their formation processes and locations, with hurricanes being larger and more sustained than tornadoes.
