Hurricanes and Tornadoes Weather Lesson Eight Hurricanes and Tornadoes

HURRICANES vs TORNADOES A large tropical storm with winds blowing at least 74 mph. A small, brief, intense wind storm with winds blowing at least 40 mph. 1. A low pressure storm. 1. A low pressure storm. 2. Winds blow at least 74 mph (up to 150 mph) 2. Winds blow an average of 150 mph (up to 300 mph). 3. Average width is 400 miles in diameter. 3. Average diameter is less than 0.3 miles. 4. May last from days to a week (or more). 4. Lasts seconds to an hour or more (at the most). 5. Occur over warm water (condensation allows more water to evaporate below). 5. Occurs over land and/or water (waterspout) on usually flat surfaces. 6. Usually occur in late summer and early fall. 6. Usually occur in spring and early summer.
