Ahh this is actually far more difficult to answer than most people think...You have to take into consideration that these storms are BOTH unpredictable you never know what will come from either...i will say that Hurricanes are more ly taking into the fact that a tornado will last for mereley minutes when a hurricane can have maximum sustained winds of up to like 165 mph for hours on end which can cause serious damages to homes and our economy. Where a tornado may cause millions in damages depending where it hit but wont hurt oil prices and so on and so forth.

Now im not saying that people who have to experience tornados every year dont got it easier by far they have some troubles but just think of the thousands of people each year who are displaced because of devastating hurricanes...im sorry but im gonna go with hurricanes here..
