No, a hurricane is a very different type of storm from a tornado.
A hurricane is a large, organized, and destructive system of thunderstorms that developed of tropical ocean water. The average hurricane is 300 miles wide.
A tornado is a small (in weather terms), violent vortex of air that generally occurs on land. A tornado forms from a single storm cell and is 50 yards wide on average.
Hurricanes, however, can produce tornadoes at landfall.
