Answer:

Perhaps the only similarity between tornadoes and hurricanes is that they both contain strong rotating winds that can cause damage. There are many differences between tornadoes and hurricanes. The largest tornado every observed was 4 km (2.5 mi) wide, and most tornadoes are < 0.8 km (0.5 mi) wide.
