Depends on how dangerous the hurricane is. It can be stronger or weaker than tornado, so there is some overlap, however, the very strongest of tornadoes have winds that can exceed 300mph while the very strongest of hurricanes have winds up to about 200 mph.

However storms this strong are very rare.

In most cases the winds fall into the same range.
