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.

Why is lightning mor dangours than a tornado?
Lightning can be considered more dangerous that a tornado because there is no warning. A lightning bold strikes and is gone in a fraction of a second. By contrast it usually takes at least a few minutes for a tornado to form and it is often possible to see or detect one before it strikes.

Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.

A hurricane. While a hurricane can cause more damage and fatalities overall, this is spread out over a larger area. A tornado generally causes more severe damage, but in a smaller area.
What's worse hurricane or tornado?
A hurricane is generally worse. Since they are much larger than tornadoes they can cause more damage and kill more people. e.g. A number of hurricanes have killed over 1,000 people, but only one known tornado has done the same. However, somewhat paradoxically, a tornado is more dangerous. This is because tornadoes are more violent than hurricanes, are harder to predict, and form much more quickly.
