If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing.

In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.

Can a tornado collide with a hurricane?

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.


What is stronger a tornado or hurricane?

No. In most cases hurricane winds and tornado winds fall into the same range. However, in dealing with records, the highest winds recorded in a hurricane were about 190 mph. By contrast one tornado had its winds clocked at just over 300 mph. A hurricane with its high speed winds, thunder, lightning, and rain, covers a very much larger land area and air volume than a tornado. The sum total of energy and force in a hurricane is substantially greater than that of a tornado. That would make a hurricane stronger than a tornado.


Is a twister bigger than a tornado?

No, a twister and a tornado are terms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same weather phenomenon. Both terms describe a rapidly rotating column of air that comes into contact with the ground.


Was there ever a hurricane Ben?

There was a Typhoon Ben in 1986. A typhoon is essentially the same thing as a hurricane, only occuring in the western Pacific.


Which is bigger a thunderstorm or a hurricane?

A hurricane is much bigger than a tornado. Hurricanes are 300 miles wide on average. With the smallest being about 60 miles wide and the largest over 1000 miles. The average tornado is 50 yards wide with the smallest being just a few feet wide an the largest about 2.5 miles.

Can there be a tornado and hurricane at the same time and how?

Yes. It is actually fairly common for the thunderstorms in the outer bands of a hurricane to spawn tornadoes.


Is a tornado bigger than a twister?

No. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.


What is stronger a twister or tornado?

Neither. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.


How Can there be a tornado and a hurricane at the same time?

It is not possible for a tornado and a hurricane to occur simultaneously in the same location. Tornadoes can occur within hurricanes, but they typically form in different ways and under different conditions. Hurricane-force winds can cause tornadoes to develop in the outer bands of the storm.


What is the difference between storms?

a tornado, typhoon, cyclone, twister, and hurricane are pretty much the same.


Can there be a tornado and a hurricane in the same state?

Yes. Hurricanes often produce tornadoes as they make landfall. Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida are among both the most tornado prone and the most hurricane prone states.


What is faster a hurricane or tornado?

In terms of wind speed, tornado and hurricane winds usually fall into the same range. Tornadoes are capable of producing stronger winds than hurricanes are, however. In terms of traveling speed, tornadoes generally move faster but, again, there is a good deal of overlap.


Which is deadlier a tornado or twister?

Neither. Tornado and twister are two words for the same thing.


Is there a difference between a tornado and a twister?

No. Twister is just an informal word for a tornado.


Which is bigger a twister or a tornado?

Neither; they are the same thing. A tornado is known as a twister because they spin.


How are the winds for hurricanes and tornadoes the same?

The winds in hurricanes and tornadoes have the same rotation but a hurricane has weaker winds than the strongest of tornadoes. Tornado's winds range from 65 to about 300 mph A hurricane's winds range from 74 to about 200 mph. The tornado is the most violent storm on Earth.
