A storm is virtually any weather event that produces strong wind, heavy precipitation, thunder, lightning, or some combination of these.

A tornado is a specific type of storm defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. While tornadoes are among the smallest of storms they are also the most violent with the strongest producing winds over 300 mph.
