Hurricane Mitch killed 11,000+ people.
"nearly 11,000 people were killed with over 8,000 left missing by the end of 1998."
"Mitch caused such massive and widespread damage that Honduran President Carlos Roberto Flores claimed it destroyed fifty years of progress in the country. Mitch destroyed about 70% of the crops... An estimated 70-80% of the transportation infrastructure of the entire country was wiped out, including nearly all bridges and secondary roads; the damage was so great that existing maps were rendered obsolete"

A hurricane has more wind speed and does more damage, but a tornado can come up suddenly. You don't always get a lot of advanced warning, like with hurricanes. So, I'd say a tornado is "worse" for that reason.

A hurricane can cause more damage than a tornado, and hurricanes are more of a world wide thing while tornados i believe are only big in some countries

In reality, a hurricane is simply a huge tornado. A catagory 5 hurricane is equivilant to an F5 tornado, but much, much larger. So the hurricane is worse.

Never been in a hurricane but I've been in two or three tornados. They're SCARY!!!! Plus tornados are faster, have more force, and you don't get much of a warning. You see the sky starting to turn green. That's your first hint. You don't have much time. It starts hailing and raining and lightning. It's awful.
