No, they can't really collide. A hurricane is thousands of times larger than a tornado. In fact, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to form in the outer bands of a hurricane.

Tornadoes are smaller in scale compared to hurricanes and are typically embedded within them. So while a tornado can form within or near a hurricane, a direct collision between a tornado and a hurricane as two separate weather events is highly unlikely.

What would the effect be if a hurricane and a tornado collided?

A tornado and a hurricane can't exactly collide as they operate on entirely different scales. Hurricanes are large-scale storm systems while tornadoes are relative small, but violent whirlwinds produce by thunderstorms. Some of the thunderstorms in the outer bands of a hurricane can even spawn tornadoes. So a tornado can occur within the storm bands of a hurricane without being much different from an ordinary tornado.

Is a hurricane a water tornado?

No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.


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.
