This chart shows us information about dangerous winds, hurricanes and tornadoes. Both of these are dangerous but there are differences between them.
First, the minimum wind speed of hurricanes is 74 mph, whereas that of tornadoes is 40 mph. Next, the maximum wind speed of tornadoes is higher than hurricanes; while a tornado is 250-300 mph a hurricane is 155-200 mph. On the other hand, the tornado’s classification is on the Fujita F0-F5 but the hurricane classification is on the Saffir- Simpson C1-C5. However, a tornado only lasts a few minutes, some up to a few hours, while a hurricane can last up to a week. Hurricanes’ average width of storm is 300 miles but 100-600 meters and some up to 1.5 km wide for tornadoes. A hurricane can be predicted 2-3 days for a wide area but it can usually be predicted more exactly where a hurricane will hit 6-10 hours beforehand, whereas a tornado can be predicted only 20 minutes before or less. The tornadoes start usually over land, while hurricanes start usually over warm oceans.
All in all, hurricanes are more predictable, but they can’t reach as high a wind speed as tornadoes.
