Hurricanes and tornadoes are alike too. They both can be in the same areas. They can be in Louisiana together. Sometimes, when a hurricane forms, a tornado can appear in the top right corner area. A tornado can form out of a hurricane! Amazing! I love tornadoes and hurricanes.

As you can see, tornadoes and hurricanes are pretty cool. They can be alike in many ways. They can be different in many ways too. Tornadoes can form out of hurricanes! That was awesome! Tornadoes usually happen around 800 times a year. Also, hurricanes are called different things, like, cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons. I love learning about hurricanes and tornadoes!
