Note that deciding how dangerous a tornado is is very subjective. That being said, some good candidates to be considered among the most dangerous include:

Hurricanes and tornadoes are rated on different scales. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to category 5. Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale (formerly the Fujita scale) from EF0 to EF5.
The most dangerous hurricane on record was Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It caused catastrophic damage and loss of life along the Gulf Coast of the United States, particularly in New Orleans. Katrina was a Category 5 hurricane when it made landfall.
