Best Answer

A hurricane is much larger than a thunderstorm. Hurricanes avaerage about 300 miles wide. Thunderstorms are typically 5 to 10 miles wide. Tornadoes average 150 feet wide.

Hurricanes only form over tropical ocean water. Thunderstorms and especially tornadoes often form over land and frequently in temperate areas.
