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.

Which is stronger the huracan or the tornado?

A hurricane releases more energy overall because it is bigger, but a tornado can produce stronger winds.


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 stronger an F5 tornado or a category 5 hurricane?

In terms of wind speed an EF5 tornado (estimated winds over 200mph, formerly 261-318) is stronger than a category 5 hurricane (over 155 mph). But overall a category 5 hurricane releases more energy.


How can hurricane chris become the deadliest tornado?

It can't. A hurricane can't become a tornado.


Is a supercell stronger than a hurricane?

No. While the winds in a tornado spawned by a supercell may be faster than those in any hurricane, a supercell is small compared to a hurricane and so, as a whole, is less powerful in terms of energy released.


Can a hurricane be shaped as a tornado?

No, a hurricane is a huge storm hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is tiny by comparison.

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.
