It varies, as all of these storms can potentially become stationary. However, hurricanes move slower overall.

Are hurricanes kind of like a mix between tsunamis and tornadoes?
In some ways they can be thought of that way, though that concept is not quite accurate. While both a tornado and a hurricane involve low pressure and powerful, rotating winds a hurricane is several orders of magnitude larger than a tornado and is its own storm system. In both a hurricane (through what is called the storm surge) and a tsunami seawater moves onto land. Like a tsunami a hurricane also involves large waves. However, a tsunami is far more violent and travels further inland than a storm surge or storm driven waves of the same height. Overall a hurricane is more close related to a tornado as they are both weather events, though of very different sorts while a tsunami is produced by geologic forces.
How long does it take for a tornado to touch down?
This question can be interpreted multiple ways. In terms of how wide a tornado is (diameter), the average tornado is 50 yards (45 meters) wide,. But sizes can range from less than 10 yards (9 meters) to as much as 2.5 miles (4 km). In terms of path length (how far a tornado travels), the average damage path is 5 miles (8 km) long, but it can vary from only a few yards (meters) to over 200 miles (320 km). In terms of duration (how long a tornado lasts), the average tornado is on the ground for about 10 minutes. But a tornado can last anywhere from just a few seconds to over 3 hours. In terms of how high up a tornado extends (how tall it is), they can range anywhere from 1 to 4 miles (1.6 to 6.5 km).
How do tornadoes move around?
A tornado generally travels with its parent thunderstorm. The storm itself is carried along by large scale wind currents.
Planets travel slowest at the?
A planet travels slowest at its apogee.
Slowest point of trajectory?
The highest point is where the projectile travels slowest.
What material travels slowest in sound?
by air
How fast does an Category 5 tornado travel?
There is no such thing as a category 5 tornado. Category 5 is a rating on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The highest rating for a tornado is EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which has estimated peak wind speeds of greater than 200 miles per hour. Winds may exceed 300 miles per hour. This is not the same as travel speed. The speed at which a tornado travels is unrelated to its rating. A typical tornado travels at about 30 miles per hour, but may be stationary or move faster than 70 miles per hour. A category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 157 miles per hour. A typical hurricane travels at 10 to 25 miles per hour.
What kind of sesmic waves travels the slowest?
faulty
What color travels the slowest?
The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the same speed. The speed of light.
What does travel through slowest?
Sound travels slowest through air because the particles in the air are spread apart.
