A hurricane is a kind of cyclone, specifically an intense tropical cyclone. Generally speaking, a hurricane produces more rain than other types of cyclone.
A hurricane warning is more serious than a hurricane watch. A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within a specified area, typically within 36 hours. A hurricane watch, on the other hand, means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area, usually within 48 hours.

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
No. The Galveston hurricane killed several times more people then Hurricane Katrina.
It didn't. Hurricane Andrew was the most damaging hurricane on record until Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

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.
No. Katrina was far worse than Andrew, causing more than twice the damage and more than 50 times as many deaths.
Hurricane Jeanne in 2004 is an example of a hurricane that crossed Florida more than once. It made landfall in Florida multiple times, causing widespread damage and impacting the same areas repeatedly.
It has no name, it's just known as the Red Spot of Jupiter.It has only been observed for 300 years, it is more than likely that it has "raged" for a lot longer.
