The main difference is that a hurricane that hits Florida spins counterclockwise while a hurricane that hits Australia (called a cyclone in that part of the world) spins clockwise.
When a hurricane is coming you will usually have several days warning, which will give you plenty of time to either evacuate or gather emergency supplies to ride out the storm. Even as the hurricane hits, conditions will gradually worsen over the course of several hours rather than there being a sudden impact as there is with a tornado. In this case you should be inside a well-built house or building. If your house is in a low-lying area near the coast, evacuate for shelter on higher ground.
When the eye of a hurricane moves over land, it is called landfall.
A tornado cannot "hit" a hurricane as they operate on entirely different scales. A hurricane is its own large-scale storm system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex that occurs within a storm system. In fact, it is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes.
