Tornadoes can also strike anywhere, while hurricanes are limited to coastal areas. They normally are about 200-300 miles in diameter.

When actually it is only just halfway over. During these few days 148 tornadoes touched down over 13 states.

The winds of an F5 tornado can pick your car up and fling is the length of a foot ball field. In fact tornadoes can also form over water.

Hurricanes always take more life’s when they strike, compared to tornadoes. © 2017 Actforlibraries.org | All rights reserved Usually the best place to be is in a shelter such as a basement or usually in places where tornadoes are a normal occurrence they have specially designed basements, or storm cellars.

I think that hurricanes dominate in size. Since winds can cause the most damage I think that is a good place to start. The first recorded hurricane from a meteorologist was in 1871, before that most of the hurricanes on record was from ships journals. It acts as a source of energy. Tornadoes can occur anywhere there is a shift in the winds.

It can span across many miles and deceives people into thinking that the storm is over. The death toll. Remember that old skit on seaseme street?

First lets compare wind speeds. Tornadoes kill on average 100 people per year in the United States. If you get caught outside in a tornado you should lie in a ditch and cover your head with your hands, keep watch for flooding though. So tornadoes win the wind speed battle.

Always try to avoid being outside since debris is one of the leading causes of fatalities with tornadoes and hurricanes.
The next battle will be size.

Since it had been awhile since I wrote my paper I actually did look this one up. Both are very severe, menacing storms. Hurricanes also have more Ali’s in there destruction then a tornado does.

This is where most tornadoes form, within the area of strong rotation. It was actually called the “super outbreak”.

Staying safe in a tornado is somewhat easier. It also destroyed more then 15,000 homes. When warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool dry air from Canada meet they formulate and instability in the atmosphere. In the norther states it is usually in the summer time. Add some energy, upper level winds, moisture and a trigger of some kind and you get a hurricane. There have been years that we have had 100 times as many tornadoes then hurricanes.

An F5 tornado harbors the most dangerous winds on earth. There is a spot in the middle of the swirling water that is just air. Even though the numbers keep going down due to weather tracking and evacuation method each hurricane that hits the United States still manages to take many life’s. An F5 tornado is the most powerful tornado of all. That is almost half the speed of light. Hurricanes can hurl object with super human strength.

Even though tornadoes do not have the size factor that hurricanes do, they make up for it in their frequency. Still tornadoes can travel on land over several hundred miles before disappearing. However a tornado at it’s weakest usually has the wind speeds of a hurricane at it’s strongest.

Week hurricanes usually have about 90mph winds. So I guess both storms can have winds that top at about the same speeds.

People can misinterpret the eye of the storm wrongly.
But there's still one way that hurricanes could be considered worse than tornadoes. So after debating all of these issues, which one ends up on top? They usually last a very short period of time and do not cover much land. They causes damages of over $600 million. This is similar to the eye of either storm. As I said before, there are no other winds on earth stronger then a tornadoes. There are countless differences between a hurricane and a tornado. When the air rises within the updraft it tilts the rotating air from spinning horizontally to spinning vertically. The earliest hurricane on record came from Christopher Columbus in 1494. One of the most prominent differences between the two is a hurricane starts over the ocean. While a strong hurricane can have winds that can top at 200mph. If you have then you know that when you stop spinning it, it forms a cyclone of water. This helps to prevent injuries from debris that is being whipped around by the storm. Tornado seasons varrie among different areas of the country.

In a hurricane you should be in a room with no windows. If caught in a storm in one you should make the best possible effort to get to a place that has a more secure shelter. The biggest ones can be over 700 miles. This factors greatly on where they can strike. Hurricanes also have a higher death toll because there are so many factors in there storm. Normally tornadoes range from 36 yards to a few hundred yards at the ground point. A mobile holds absolutely no protection for you from a tornado.

Tornado’s are powerful in the own way, however they rip through a town picking there way among a few houses and people. The differences between hurricanes and tornadoes leads into why one is more dangerous then the other. Then again in the fall. Even if your board your windows they are still unsafe.

However most tornadoes usually have winds less then 200mph. Hands down, hurricanes are bigger, badder and far more deadly then tornado’s.

Hurricanes needs warm water. Which is still very dangerous.
