Best Answer

No. Tornadoes and hurricanes operate on completely different scales. A hurricane is a large-scale storm system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex. However, tornadoes often du form in the outer bands of hurricanes.

No. Hurricanes and tornadoes operate on completely different scales, so they can't exactly collide. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to form in the outer rain bands of a hurricane.


What will happen if a tornado and hurricane collide?

A hurricane and a tornado can't exactly collide as they operate on entirely different scales. A hurricane is its own storm system typically several hundred miles wide while a tornado is a relatively small scale vortex usually no more than a few thousand feet wide and is dependent on a parent thunderstorm. In fact it is fairly common for the storms in the outer bands of a hurricane to produce tornadoes.


What would the effect be if a hurricane and a tornado collided?

A tornado and a hurricane can't exactly collide as they operate on entirely different scales. Hurricanes are large-scale storm systems while tornadoes are relative small, but violent whirlwinds produce by thunderstorms. Some of the thunderstorms in the outer bands of a hurricane can even spawn tornadoes. So a tornado can occur within the storm bands of a hurricane without being much different from an ordinary tornado.
