El Nino is a long term event that stays in effect a long time, months - even years. It effects all weather events. A hurricane is a one-time destructive force that may or may not affect a smaller area, like New Orleans, etc. They both can be destructive, but a hurricane is usually gone in a couple of days

A hurricane affects less people in a short amount of time. El nino can produce storms and environmental changes for months. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

A hurricane as it causes massive destructive of property and loss of lives. Also, El Nino would have no effect on very well equipped countries and it is possible to protect against it while it is virtually impossible to protect oneself from a hurricane.

A hurricane hits a small area, with great force, and devastates homes and may kill many people, while El nino is a weather phenomenon which may affect the livelihoods of a lot of people, but shouldnt be life threatening.

The el nino is a global weather phenomenon that affects such things as local weather patterns and climate.
Hurricanes are localised weather anomalies.
In terms of which is worse for individuals in their path, hurricanes. In terms of which is worse long-term for populations of people and the environment, el nino.

el nino i think is worst 'coz it's so hot and land becomes dry and the water system has a curfew time, i mean there is a cut-ff time of the water supply in a day

Hurricane. Lived through many of them, lost many houses in them. They screw your entire world up for a good long time. And just when things start getting back to normal, bam another one comes a screws it all up again.
