A tornado is like a giant spinning straw that reaches from the sky to the ground, made by strong winds inside a thunderstorm. A hurricane is more like a big, swirling ocean storm that can cover hundreds of miles and last for days. Tornadoes are smaller and faster, but hurricanes are bigger and slower.
Examples
- A tornado could rip through a small town in minutes, while a hurricane might batter a whole coast for days.
- Tornadoes are like spinning twisters that lift up things from the ground, like a giant vacuum with wind.
- Hurricanes can flood cities and knock down trees, but tornadoes tear through everything in their path quickly.
