The word you are looking for is "cyclone." A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone and tornadoes are sometimes called cyclones as well, though it is technically incorrect to do so.

Why can't you hear buildings fall in a hurricane?

The noise produced by a hurricane is much louder than the sound of a building falling, so the sound is often masked. Additionally, the atmospheric conditions during a hurricane can distort or carry sound in different directions, making it difficult to pinpoint specific noises.

How long does it take for light and sound to reach earth?

The length of time it takes light to reach earth has a lot to do with where it starts out from. If it starts from the moon, it takes about 1.5 seconds. If it starts from the sun, it takes about 8 and 1/3 minutes. If it starts from the nearest star, it takes about 4.4 years. If it starts from the North Star, it takes about 230 years. If it starts from the Andromeda Galaxy, it takes about 2.5 million years. Sound can't reach the earth from any other body. Sound needs air to travel through, and there's no air past a couple hundred miles above earth's surface. Sound can't even travel between two astronauts standing on the moon 2-ft apart.
