Why are hurricanes considered more damaging than tornadoes when tornados have stronger winds?

Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and so can cause damage to a much larger area, even if that damage is less severe. Additionally, tornadoes cause damage purely through wind and wind-driven debris while hurricanes often cause major flooding in addition to wind damage.

Torandoes are much smaller and they usually don't last as long as hurricanes. I live in Florida and I can say that our hurricanes sometimes last days to weeks.
