No because a tornado only hits a few areas before it disappears. A hurricane kills Thousands and it destroys to.
NOT TRUE. Tornados are far more violent and intense than a hurricane. They only affect a small area, but if your in that area you better start praying. It's easy to survive a hurricane, but if your too close to a violent tornado, you will most likely get beheaded. Hurricanes do more damage than tornados because they are far larger, but tornados are far faster and violent. i'd much rarther have a hurricane on top of me than be anywhere near a big tornado. The only reason hurricanes kill more people is because they are far larger, and they cause flooding.

∙ 11y agoNo. Usually larger tornadoes are stronger and more dangerous. Though occasionally small tornadoes can be very intense.

∙ 7y agoNo. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes. A typical hurricane is several hundred miles across. The average tornado is about 100 yards wide. Tornadoes more than a mile wide are rare.

Is a tornado worse than a hurricane?
The winds in a tornado funnel are perhaps faster (and therefore more destructive) than a hurricane, but the diameter of a tornado is very very small compared with a hurricane.
What is several hundred miles in diameter a tornado or a hurricane?
A hurricane. A tornado is usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide.
Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
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.
Do tornadoes cause less damage or a hurricane?
The damage from a tornado is usually more severe than that of a hurricane, but because a tornado covers a much smaller area, the total amount of damage from a tornado is usually less.
Which is stronger cyclone hurricane typhoon or tornado?
A hurricane and a typhoon are the same strength, as they are the same type of storm only occurring in different regions. They are a kind of cyclone. Overall, a hurricane or typhoon is stronger than other varieties of cyclone. Due to their large size, such cyclone will release more energy than a tornado, but a tornado has stronger winds.
Is a tornado worse than a hurricane?
The winds in a tornado funnel are perhaps faster (and therefore more destructive) than a hurricane, but the diameter of a tornado is very very small compared with a hurricane.
Is a thunderstorm more dangerous than a hurricane?
No. In most cases a hurricane is far more dangerous.
What is several hundred miles in diameter a tornado or a hurricane?
A hurricane. A tornado is usually no more than a quarter of a mile wide.
Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
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.
Can a hurricane cause more destruction than a tornado?
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.
Which is larger a hurricane or a tornado?
A hurricane is much larger than a tornado. A typical hurricane is a few hundred miles across. Most tornadoes are no more than a few hundred yards wide.
What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?
Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.
What's worse hurricane or tornado?
A hurricane is generally worse. Since they are much larger than tornadoes they can cause more damage and kill more people. e.g. A number of hurricanes have killed over 1,000 people, but only one known tornado has done the same. However, somewhat paradoxically, a tornado is more dangerous. This is because tornadoes are more violent than hurricanes, are harder to predict, and form much more quickly.
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.
Are tornadoes more dangerous than a hurricane?
A hurricane over can cause more damage, deaths and injuries than a tornado. This is because hurricanes affect a larger area and bring flooding in addition to strong winds. However, tornadoes are more dangerous and potentially more destructive on a localized scale.
What is more powerful a hurricane or a tornanado?
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
Would a tornado do more damage than a hurricane?
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.
