Not sure what you are suggesting but tornadoes vary in strength. The EF0-EF5 scale goes from light damage to catastrophic. Most tornadoes are weak and cause little damage. This hurricane, and others, have had wind gusts well above 200 MPH, equal to an EF4 or EF5 tornado. There is no EF6 tornado either...

Just a recognition that tornado winds can be significantly higher than those of a hurricane.

A cat-5 hurricane winds start at 157mph. An EF5 tornado winds start at 200mph.
