Not really. A tornado is a specific type of storm. So a tornado is a storm, but most storms are not tornadoes.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground often made visible by a funnel cloud.

All storms in the south have been pretty bad ever since the tornadoes on April 27 Why is it that the storms are worse then the storms before tornadoes?

Severe thunderstorms are what produce tornadoes. The same general conditions(warm mist air meeting cool dry air, wind shear, etc.) that can produce tornadoes can also lead to strong to severe thunderstorms, even if those storms don't produce tornadoes. Another factor may be psychological; after such devastating tornadoes people may be more aware of the severity of the storms that come through.
