    Hurricane Comparison

    • 929 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The damage from an average tornado is limited to the actual path a funnel cloud took during the limited time it touched the ground. The accompanying storm may cause additional damage through lightning strikes or heavy rain, but the tornado itself causes the most trouble. Hurricanes pack high winds and tremendous rains, but the long-term damage is often caused by the floods which proceed it. Hurricanes force the ocean water ahead of them to build into high waves known as 'storm surges'. Combined with the natural high tides, these surges can overwhelm coastal areas and cause widespread power outages and flooding. Tornadoes do not generate storm surges, but large hail may be a secondary problem victims face.…

    Hurricanes and tornadoes are some of the most violent natural occurring disasters known to mankind. While there are many differences between the two, the stark similarities are as dramatic. Both are centered on gusting wind swirling around a center; however the diameters of the storms are quite different. While hurricanes can range from 100 to 300 miles wide, tornadoes usually have only a length of less than two miles. However, a tornado makes up for its small size with extremely high wind speeds, in excess of over 250 miles per hour. Hurricanes on the contrary have wind speeds from 74 to 160 miles per hour. To compare and to contrast hurricanes and tornadoes the main areas of interest are the creation of both disasters, and the destructive…
