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.

Can a tornado and hurricane collide?

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.


Has a tornado collided with a hurricane?

Tornadoes are smaller in scale compared to hurricanes and are typically embedded within them. So while a tornado can form within or near a hurricane, a direct collision between a tornado and a hurricane as two separate weather events is highly unlikely.


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.

Is a hurricane a water tornado?

No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.


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 are the odds of getting killed in a hurricane then a tornado?

Zero. If you are killed in a hurricane, you are already dead, so you can't be killed by a tornado.
