Similarities Between Hurricanes And Tornadoes

"Watch out for the storm!" Tornadoes and Hurricanes are two of the strongest storms known to man. These two different storms can also be very similar.  

To start off with, a Tornado is a cone-shaped cyclone of powerful wind. Tornadoes are very powerful storms that can rip roofs off of houses. Hurricanes are huge tropical storms. Some Hurricanes can flood colossal houses if not towns. These two disasters are actually very similar. 

Second of all, both Hurricanes and Tornadoes have extremely fast winds. According to sources 3 and 4, Tornadoes have turbo winds that exceed 300 miles per hour, as do Hurricanes. A Tornado can cause mass destruction similar to a Hurricane. So destructive in fact, that they can both cause millions, if not billions

of dollars in damage. Part of them being so destructive is their shape. According to sources 3 and 4, a Hurricanes is cone-shaped, in common to a Tornado, which helps them both shred anything. However, these two powerful storms can also be very different.  
Lastly, both Tornadoes and Hurricanes have many differences, like where they form. Scied.ucar.edu states that Tornadoes form over warm, flat areas, while spaceplace.nasa.gov says that Hurricanes form over warm ocean water near the equator. Not only that, but, Tornadoes are created by swift air and winds, different from the Hurricane, which are created by moist air and water. Both of these treacherous disasters can cause many horrendous deaths. A Tornado can cause nearly 100 casualties, while on the other hand, Hurricanes can cause nearly 1000 deaths at a time! Those are just a few differences between these two dreadful disasters. 
In conclusion, Hurricanes and Tornadoes have many differences between themselves, but they are also very similar. I just hope that you never run into one of the two.
