A gale is along hard wind that can reach a high speed of at least 39 mph usually resulting from a mid-latitude cyclone, rather than a tornado which can reach high speeds but tends to travel in a circular motion in a small area. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air and can produce stronger winds than a gale.
