    The impacts can vary in severity due to a range of human and physical factors. Human factors include how urbanised the area affected is, as built up cities tend to have impermeable surfaces which increases run-off and therefore worsens the floods that occur. Torrential rain and flooding, along with storm surges and strong winds, are all hazards posed by tropical revolving storms. These hazards, similar to the storm, are inevitable and cannot be stopped from occurring but methods can take place to try and reduce the impacts. Physical factors are out of our control. The size of the storm affects how widespread the impacts are, as well as the duration of the storm and the intensity of the storm, also affecting certain areas. Preparation and preparedness are not the only methods that can be carried out. Monitoring and forecasting with the use of satellites and radar create computer models based on…

    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.…

    There are a ton of differences between tornadoes and hurricanes. One is that tornadoes form on land and hurricanes develop over warm, tropical waters. A tornado only lasts a few minutes while a hurricane can last up to ten days. Since the hurricane is much larger than a tornado, a hurricane can release tornadoes and a hurricane gets a name after it is down destroying a place because it makes it easier to identify it. The "eye" of a hurricane can be up to 20 miles long and the tornades "eye" can only be a few feet in diameter. Tornadoes occur from April to June and hurricane occur from June to November. A tornado travels from south west to north east and a hurricane travels from east to west. Tornadoes have been spotted in every continent except Antarctica.…
