What does more damage?
tornados can cause the fastes damage , if i had to list them i would say 1. TORNADO(IT CAN DESTROY ALOT IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES) 2.EARTHQUAKE(IT CAN SHAKE A LARGE AREA BUT NOT ALWAYS CAUSE THAT MUCH OF A DAMAGE AS a tornado could) 3.HURRICANE
Why are tropical storms more destructive than tornadoes?
The damage from a tornado is generally more severe than that of a tropical storm or hurricane, but is limited to a much smaller area. Hurricanes and tropical storms can cause damage over enormous areas, so the total amount of damage done is greater.
What does Multiple vortex mean?
This term most likely refers to a multiple-vortex tornado. A tornado is itself a vortex that can sometimes contain two or more smaller vortices that move with the tornado's rotation. These vortices pack stronger winds than the rest of the tornado, and often result in areas within a tornado's path where damage is more severe than it is elsewhere.
Is a cyclone worse than a tornado?
It varies. Technically a cyclone can be almost any large scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and most such systems are not damaging. However, hurricanes and similar storms, which are a kind of cyclone, can cause far more damage and have much higher death tolls than tornadoes. Both the costliest and deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history were hurricanes (Hurricane Katrina and the 1900 Galveston hurricane respectively). It can be even more complicated however, as cyclones can cause tornadoes.
How fast was the natchez tornado?
We do not know. The Natchez tornado was in 1840, and it is hard to get reliable information from records that old. The tornado itself was probably an F4 or F5, which would put wind speeds in the range of 200 mph or more, but that does not indicate anything about how fast the tornado itself moved.
Which is more destructive the winds of a hurricane or a tornado?
Generally tornado winds are more destructive that hurricane winds. Hurricane winds, however, cause damage over a much larger area than a tornado, so the overall amount of damage may be greater. The worst damage in a hurricane is usually the result of flooding.
Can a hurricane cause more destruction than a tornado?
Yes. A hurricane affects a much larger area than a tornado and so will likely cause more damage overall. Tornado damage is generally more severe than hurricane damage, but it is limited to a small area. There have been far more hurricanes than tornadoes that have caused more than $1 billion in damage.
Would you rather be in a tornado or a hurricane?
I would rather be in a hurricane because it typically provides more advance warning and preparation time compared to a tornado which can strike suddenly and with little warning. Additionally, hurricanes tend to cover larger areas so there may be more options for finding safe shelter.
Is a tornado or a hurricane more severe over a wide area?
A hurricane affects a much wider area while a tornado can cause more severe damage in a small area.
Do tornadoes cause less damage or a hurricane?
It depends on the intensity and size of the tornado or hurricane. Generally, hurricanes tend to cause more widespread damage due to their larger size and longer duration. However, intense tornadoes can also cause significant damage in a localized area with extremely high winds.
What is more expensive a tornado or a hurricane?
It depends on the individual event. In some cases both a tornado and a hurricane can cause minal damage, and the worst tornadoes have cost more than many hurricanes. That said, overall, hurricanes egenerally cost more as they impact a larger area. The highest cost of damage for a hurricane (inflation ajusted to 2013 dollars) was $128 billion from Hurricane Katrina while the highest cost of damage froma tornado was $2.9 billion from the Joplin, Missouri tornado.

Who would win in a fight a tornado or a hurricane?
There is no conflict between a hurricane and a tornado. In fact, hurricanes often produce tornadoes. However, if you were to somehow pitch the force of a hurricane against the force of a tornado, the hurricane would "win" without being significantly affected. Although a tornado can have faster winds than a hurricane, hurricanes are much larger and have several orders of magnitude more energy than a tornado.
What is one of natures most severe forms weather?
A tornado is one of the most severe forms of weather, in a localized area. A hurricane or typhoon is a bigger storm over a much wider area, but the tornado does more damage in one spot than a hurricane would.
What is more powerful a hurricane or a tornanado?
A Hurricane is more powerful because they do indeed release much more energy than a torn. That mostly because a hurricane is much larger than a tornado. However, a tornado can be more violent than even the worst hurricane and cause more severe damage in a localized area. Hurricane winds can reach a maximum of about 190 mph and tornadoes over 300mph
Do tornadoes do more damage than hurricanes?
They often do as they cover a larger area and often cause flooding in addition to wind damage. The costliest tornado in U.S. history, the Joplin tornado of 2011, cost $2.8 billion. The costliest hurricane in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina, cost $105 billion.
Is a hurricane bad or a tornado?
Both natural disasters are equally terrible. Magnitude may affect how badly humans, animals, and the environment are affected. Hurricanes are classified by wind speed... A Category 1 hurricane would have winds up to 95 mph winds, while a Category 5 hurricane would have greater than 156 mph winds. A tornado is classified a little differently... according to the Fujita Scale, a tornado is classified by damage. Both a hurricane and a tornado have the potential to cause an equal amount of damage; a tornado might be more concentrated, while a hurricane could be more widespread. Overall, though, hurricanes can cause more damage. There have been many more hurricanes that caused over $1 billion in damage than tornadoes with the same amount, and more hurricanes than tornadoes with death tolls over 500.
