What are ten differences between a tornado and a hurricane?
A hurricane is its own, self-sustaining storm system while a tornado is dependent on a parent storm cell.A hurricane is typically hundreds of miles wide while a tornado is rarely over a mile in diameter.A hurricane lasts for days, sometimes weeks. A tornado usually lasts no more than a few minutes, never more than a few hours.A hurricane can only develop over warm water while a tornado is most likely to form over land.A hurricane is primarily a tropical phenomenon while tornadoes are more common in temperate and subtropical regions.A hurricane brings a risk of major flooding in addition to powerful winds while a tornado does damage simply from wind and debris.The strongest tornadoes have the fastest winds of any storm, in rare cases over 300 mph. Hurricanes cannot produce such winds.Tornadoes are often made visible by a funnel cloud. Hurricanes do not have such a feature.Tornadoes tend to cause more severe damage than hurricanes, but on a more localized scale.Multiple tornadoes often form in the same storm system in what is called a tornado outbreak. Hurricanes occur individually

A tornado outbreak is a series of multiple tornadoes (usually at least six) produced by the same storm system (i.e. a system of multiple storms) in a geographic area in a relatively short period of time (usually 48 hours or less). A tornado family is a series of tornadoes produced in succession by a single storm as it goes through cycles. In a tornado outbreak the tornado tracks are scattered across a given area such as a state or several states. In a tornado family several tornado tracks occur along the same approximate line. Sometimes there are several tornado families within an outbreak.
