A tornado can have stronger winds than a hurricane.
The very strongest tornadoes have winds just over 300mph while a the very strongest of hurricanes have winds of about 190 mph or sometimes more
However, tornadoes and hurricanes that strong are very rare.

It is difficult to directly compare the power of tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes as they are measured differently (tornadoes by the Enhanced Fujita Scale, hurricanes by the Saffir-Simpson Scale, and earthquakes by the Richter scale). However, hurricanes are typically the most powerful in terms of the energy they release and the widespread damage they can cause.

∙ 11y agoA single hurricane releases the energy (in the form of heat energy, and 10% of that converts to the form of mechanical energy (wind power)) equal to a 10-megaton thermonuclear bomb every 20 MINUTES. and therefore, ONE hurricane releases more energy than ALL the nuclear bombs ever created, ever.

∙ 13y agoThe size of both hurricanes and blizzards varies, though in most cases they fall in to the same range of sizes, though some blizzards are larger than even very large hurricane.
A hurricane, though, is much more powerful than a blizzard.

Which one of these are the most powerful a plague or volcano or hurricane or earthquake or tornado or sandstorm?
In terms of power, volcanoes are typically the most powerful on this list, as they have the ability to cause widespread destruction over large areas. Hurricanes and earthquakes are also considered very powerful natural disasters, capable of causing immense damage and loss of life. Tornadoes, sandstorms, and plagues can also be deadly, but their reach and impact are generally more localized compared to the others.
Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?
There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.
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.
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.
Is there a neverending tornado on Jupiter?
Yes, but it is more like a hurricane.
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
What is more powerful a hurricane or an earthquake?
i think an earthquake is more powerful because the ground could crack everything shakes and breaks and if someone fell ain't no telling where they would end up...#who knows?
Why is a tornado stronger than an earthquake?
It isn't. An earthquake releases far more energy than a tornado.
Which one of these are the most powerful a plague or volcano or hurricane or earthquake or tornado or sandstorm?
In terms of power, volcanoes are typically the most powerful on this list, as they have the ability to cause widespread destruction over large areas. Hurricanes and earthquakes are also considered very powerful natural disasters, capable of causing immense damage and loss of life. Tornadoes, sandstorms, and plagues can also be deadly, but their reach and impact are generally more localized compared to the others.
What type of storm has the greatest energy hurricane or tornado?
Overall a hurricane has much more energy. Mostly because a hurricane is hundreds of times larger than a tornado.
Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?

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.
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 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
What is several hundred miles in diameter a tornado or a hurricane?
A hurricane is several hundred miles in diameter, while a tornado typically ranges from 50 to 500 yards in diameter.
Does a hurricane or tornado cover more ground surface?
A hurricane typically covers a larger ground surface area than a tornado. Hurricanes are large, swirling storms that can span hundreds of miles and affect large portions of coastal regions, while tornadoes are smaller, more localized funnel clouds that typically cover a few miles at most.
