The winds in a tornado funnel are perhaps faster (and therefore more destructive) than a hurricane, but the diameter of a tornado is very very small compared with a hurricane.

Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?

There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.


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.


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.

Is an EF5 tornado worse than a category 5 hurricane?

It depends. Hurricane ratings are based on measured wind speed, so a hurricane can become a category 5 but stay at sea, causing no damage. Tornado ratings are based on damage severity, so if a tornado is rated EF5, at least one well-built structure must have been completely obliterated. However, a hurricane that makes landfall at category 5 intensity can be expected to be much worse than most EF5 tornadoes.
