What tornado strength would equal 892 millibars of hurricane strength?

It is unknown as efforts to measure the barometric pressure inside a tornado have met with little success. The millibar is a measure of barometric pressure, with 892 millibars being very low for a pressure that would be found on Earth, indicating a very intense storm.
Even then, the scales we currently have for rating tornadoes use damage-based in estimates rather than pressure estimates.

There is no direct conversion between tornado strength and hurricane intensity as they are measured on different scales. Tornado strength is typically measured on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, while hurricane strength is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speeds. These scales are not directly comparable, so there is no equivalent rating between a tornado's EF scale and a hurricane's pressure in millibars.

Is a hurricane bad or a tornado?
Both natural disasters are equally terrible. Magnitude may affect how badly humans, animals, and the environment are affected. Hurricanes are classified by wind speed... A Category 1 hurricane would have winds up to 95 mph winds, while a Category 5 hurricane would have greater than 156 mph winds. A tornado is classified a little differently... according to the Fujita Scale, a tornado is classified by damage. Both a hurricane and a tornado have the potential to cause an equal amount of damage; a tornado might be more concentrated, while a hurricane could be more widespread. Overall, though, hurricanes can cause more damage. There have been many more hurricanes that caused over $1 billion in damage than tornadoes with the same amount, and more hurricanes than tornadoes with death tolls over 500.
What is more powerful a tornado hurricane earthquake?
A tornado can have stronger winds than a hurricane. The very strongest tornadoes have winds just over 300mph while a the very strongest of hurricanes have winds of about 190 mph or sometimes more However, tornadoes and hurricanes that strong are very rare.
What is 760 mm atmospheric pressure?
760 mm Hg is 1 atmosphere, so approx 1 bar. It is 1.013 bar, which is 1013 milibars.
Is the west side of a hurricane the worst?
Not necessarily. Generally the right side of a hurricane is worst. Since hurricanes spin counterclockwise the wind speed on the right side of the hurricane is equal to the speed the hurricane is spinning plus its forward speed. So if a hurricane is spinning at 90 mph and traveling at 10 mph, areas on the right side of the storm would experience 100 mph winds. The stronger winds also lead to a higher storm surge. Because of this the west side of a hurricane would be worst if it were traveling south. If the storm is traveling north, which is somewhat more common, then the east side is worse.
What are three units used to describe air pressure?
The SI unit is the pascal, equal to one newton per square meter. A bar is exactly 100,000 pascal. An atmosphere is approximately equal to a bar. Torr means more or less the same as mmHg, and refers to the pressure caused by a liquid column of mercury (Hg).
How many millibars are equal to 27.23 of mercury?
27.23 inches of mercury is 922.1 millibars.
What would an E4 tornado equal in a hurricane?
There is no such thing as an E4 tornado. You most likely mean an EF4 tornado. The estimated winds for an EF4 tornado are 166-200 mph. That is equivalent to a category 5 hurricane (winds 156 mph or greater).
How many millibars are equal to 27.23 in of mercury?
922.1 millibars.
How many millibars are equal to 27.23 inches to mercury?
922 millibars.
What is measured in millibars?
Millibars (mb.) you can use that measurement to measure Air Pressure. The NWS uses mbs to measure the air pressure inside a hurricane.
How do you convert inches of Mercury to millibars?
One inch of mercury is equal to 33.9 millibars. So: inches of mercury x 33.9 = millibars.
What the science meaning of millibars?
millibars a unit of atmospheric pressure equal to 100 newtons per square metre
If air pressure is 30inches how many millibars of air pressure are there?
About 1013 millibars would equal about... 30 inches------------_______________*****************
