True, what I said simplifies it a bit much, you need other factors than
just heat to make a storm, but when those other factors are present, more
heat most certainly means stronger storm.

(*Very*) localized the tornado, but the hurricane is a LOT worse energy and
violence wise.   It's not even close...
