A dancer doing various locking moves. Locking is a style of funk dance, which is today also associated with hip hop. The name is based on the concept of locking movements, which basically means freezing from a fast movement and locking in a certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing in the same speed as before.
A tornado warning is worse. It means that a tornado has been detected or the threat of one is imminent. A tornado watch means the overall conditions are favorable to form in a general area.
That's a tough one. Hurricanes usually have more widespread damage, but typically there's much more warning than a tornado. I'll say tornado is worse since it often comes with little warning. While being stuck in a hurricane could be a deadly situation, at least you have a chance to attempt preparation. Living is South Florida, and coming from the midwest I would have to say that dealing with a hurricane would be easier to deal with.
