Unlike chasing tornadoes, to chase a hurricane you actually have to go in to it as the storm is hundreds of miles wide. If you intercept a hurricane there is no way of avoiding dangerous winds. By contrast, most storm chasers are usually able to maintain a safe distance from a tornado while chasing, and close encounters are not very common. Similarly, in a thunderstorm it can be possible to avoid the most dangerous parts.

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.

What will happen if a tornado and hurricane collide?

A hurricane and a tornado can't exactly collide as they operate on entirely different scales. A hurricane is its own storm system typically several hundred miles wide while a tornado is a relatively small scale vortex usually no more than a few thousand feet wide and is dependent on a parent thunderstorm. In fact it is fairly common for the storms in the outer bands of a hurricane to produce tornadoes.
