Hurricanes and tornadoes are different weather phenomena.
A hurricane is a tropical storm, developed over warm seas and form into large wind patterns of 100 miles or more across. It is the warm water that sustains a hurricane so it will lose energy and die out as it travels inland.
A tornado develops over land and is a funnel of spiraling air, rarely more than a few hundred feet across where it touches the ground. As well as being much more localized, they do not rely on large bodies of water to form.
