Both hurricanes and tornadoes vary in the amount of damage they cause. Both can occur without causing any damage or can caused utter devastation. Overall, damage from tornadoes tends to be more severe,but hurricanes generally cause a greater quantity of damage because they cover much larger areas.
I would rather be in a hurricane because it typically provides more advance warning and preparation time compared to a tornado which can strike suddenly and with little warning. Additionally, hurricanes tend to cover larger areas so there may be more options for finding safe shelter.
It depends on the intensity and size of the tornado or hurricane. Generally, hurricanes tend to cause more widespread damage due to their larger size and longer duration. However, intense tornadoes can also cause significant damage in a localized area with extremely high winds.
A hurricane. A tornado is usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide.
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.
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.
No. A hurricane will produce more damage overall because it affects a larger area, though on a localized scale the damage from a tornado is often more severe.
Generally tornado winds are more destructive that hurricane winds. Hurricane winds, however, cause damage over a much larger area than a tornado, so the overall amount of damage may be greater. The worst damage in a hurricane is usually the result of flooding.
Yes. A hurricane affects a much larger area than a tornado and so will likely cause more damage overall. Tornado damage is generally more severe than hurricane damage, but it is limited to a small area. There have been far more hurricanes than tornadoes that have caused more than $1 billion in damage.

A hurricane affects a much wider area while a tornado can cause more severe damage in a small area.
It depends on the intensity and size of the tornado or hurricane. Generally, hurricanes tend to cause more widespread damage due to their larger size and longer duration. However, intense tornadoes can also cause significant damage in a localized area with extremely high winds.
It depends on the individual event. In some cases both a tornado and a hurricane can cause minal damage, and the worst tornadoes have cost more than many hurricanes. That said, overall, hurricanes egenerally cost more as they impact a larger area. The highest cost of damage for a hurricane (inflation ajusted to 2013 dollars) was $128 billion from Hurricane Katrina while the highest cost of damage froma tornado was $2.9 billion from the Joplin, Missouri tornado.
The level of damage caused by a tornado, hurricane, or earthquake can vary depending on factors such as intensity, location, and duration. Generally, hurricanes and earthquakes have the potential to cause more widespread and severe damage due to their larger scale and longer-lasting impact. Earthquakes can lead to structural collapse and tsunamis, while hurricanes can bring strong winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall that contribute to significant damage. However, tornadoes can also be extremely destructive on a more localized level, with intense winds causing damage along a narrow path.
A Hurricane is more powerful because they do indeed release much more energy than a torn. That mostly because a hurricane is much larger than a tornado. However, a tornado can be more violent than even the worst hurricane and cause more severe damage in a localized area. Hurricane winds can reach a maximum of about 190 mph and tornadoes over 300mph
tornados can cause the fastes damage , if i had to list them i would say 1. TORNADO(IT CAN DESTROY ALOT IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES) 2.EARTHQUAKE(IT CAN SHAKE A LARGE AREA BUT NOT ALWAYS CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A DAMAGE AS a tornado could) 3.HURRICANE
They often do as they cover a larger area and often cause flooding in addition to wind damage. The costliest tornado in U.S. history, the Joplin tornado of 2011, cost $2.8 billion. The costliest hurricane in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina, cost $105 billion.
Generally the stronger the tornado, the more severe the damage it causes. A large tornado can affect a larger area than a small tornado and therefore cause a greater quantity of damage, though it is not necessarily more severe.
