When a hurricane is coming you will usually have several days warning, which will give you plenty of time to either evacuate or gather emergency supplies to ride out the storm. Even as the hurricane hits, conditions will gradually worsen over the course of several hours rather than there being a sudden impact as there is with a tornado. In this case you should be inside a well-built house or building. If your house is in a low-lying area near the coast, evacuate for shelter on higher ground.

In Australia, hurricanes are referred to as cyclones. The main difference between a cyclone in Australia and a hurricane in Florida lies in the location and naming convention; they are both severe tropical storms with strong winds that form over warm ocean waters, but cyclones typically occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean regions while hurricanes form in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific Ocean regions.
A tornado cannot "hit" a hurricane as they operate on entirely different scales. A hurricane is its own large-scale storm system while a tornado is a small-scale vortex that occurs within a storm system. In fact, it is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes.
