when you're in a hurricane it seems to go on forever (and easily can go on for 10-12 hours) and the noise is constant and scary as hell.

I've never been close enough to a tornado to hear it, and wouldn't be in a hurry to, but tornadoes don't bring the wide path of destruction that a hurricane (or earthquake) does - they're more selective and so, statistically, your likelihood of being hit is less (though likelihood of total devastation if you ARE hit is higher). Category Three to Five hurricanes often spawn tornadoes, microbursts of intense energy, but they don't tend to be as strong as the classic stand-alone Tornado Alley kind.
