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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is more dangerous a hurrricane or tornado?
The danger isn't categorical. That's like asking which is more expensive, a home repair or a medical expense. Each tornado or hurricane must be gauged individually.
What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?
Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.
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.
Which is more destructive the winds of a hurricane or a tornado?
Generally tornado winds are more destructive that hurricane winds. Hurricane winds, however, cause damage over a much larger area than a tornado, so the overall amount of damage may be greater. The worst damage in a hurricane is usually the result of flooding.
Is a tornado or a hurricane more severe over a wide area?
A hurricane affects a much wider area while a tornado can cause more severe damage in a small area.
Who would win in a fight a tornado or a hurricane?
There is no conflict between a hurricane and a tornado. In fact, hurricanes often produce tornadoes. However, if you were to somehow pitch the force of a hurricane against the force of a tornado, the hurricane would "win" without being significantly affected. Although a tornado can have faster winds than a hurricane, hurricanes are much larger and have several orders of magnitude more energy than a tornado.
What is several hundred miles in diameter a tornado or a hurricane?
A hurricane. A tornado is usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide.
Is there a neverending tornado on Jupiter?
Yes, but it is more like a hurricane.
Would a tornado do more damage than a hurricane?
No. A hurricane will produce more damage overall because it affects a larger area, though on a localized scale the damage from a tornado is often more severe.
Which is larger a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane is much larger than a tornado. A typical hurricane is a few hundred miles across. Most tornadoes are no more than a few hundred yards wide.
Are tornadoes more dangerous than a hurricane?
A hurricane over can cause more damage, deaths and injuries than a tornado. This is because hurricanes affect a larger area and bring flooding in addition to strong winds. However, tornadoes are more dangerous and potentially more destructive on a localized scale.
