A storm surge is a threat seen in hurricanes, but not usually in other types of storm. The storm surge occurs when the wind of a hurricane drives the ocean onto land. Additionally, the threat of a hurricane usually diminishes significantly away from coastal areas.
Hurricanes have a few other characteristics that they share with other storm types, but not with tornadoes. These include:
- Advisories issued days in advance
- They create a threat that lasts hours if not days.
- Large ocean waves
- They can pose a threat while hundreds of miles away through waves and rip currents.
- Flooding
- Widespread damage
- Significant coastal erosion

Are there tornadoes and hurricanes in space?
No. Tornadoes and hurricanes are atmospheric phenomena, and there is no atmosphere in space.
What about hurricanes and tornadoes is true Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes Hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot Hurricanes have strong winds?
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
What is the reationship between hurricanes and tornadoes?
It is not uncommon for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall.
Are hurricanes worse than tornadoes or are tornadoes worse than hurricanes?
This cannot be answered simply, as both hurricanes and tornadoes vary greatly in how bad they are. The impacts of both tornadoes and hurricanes can range from negligible to devastating. That said, the very worst hurricanes can be far deadlier and more destructive than the worst tornadoes.
Are there hurricanes and tornadoes in the Caribbean and Bahamas?
Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.
Do hurricanes make tornadoes?
Yes. It is fairly common for hurricens to produce tornadoes. However, most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.
