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.
Tornadoes are generally more violent, but a cyclone will release more energy simply because it is much larger.
A cyclone is virtually any large-scale low pressure system with a closed circulation, and is not necessarily severe.
Gale Force is much stronger, a strong Gale Force wind is 55-63 mph, it is a level 10 on the Beaufort Scale, for comparison a hurricane force wind is a level 12 which is winds greater than 73 mph.
In terms of energ output, a hurricane is far stronger. In terms of peak wind speed, it depends on the kind of whirlwind. Non-tornadic whrilwinds generally cannot produce winds equivalent even to a minimal hurricane.
However, tornadoes generally produce wind speeds in the same range that hurricanes do. But, in the most extreme cases, the winds of a tornado are far faster.
Gale force winds start at 35 knots (about 39 mph) while storm force winds start at 50 knots (about 58 mph).
according to the beaufort scale, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_is_stronger_a_storm_wind_or_a_gale_wind"
A hurricane releases more energy mostly because it is much bigger. But winds in a tornado can be much faster.
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph.
A gale is a extratropical low (cyclone) with sustained winds of 39 to 54 mph.
The only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location where the storm occurs.
At its largest Hurricane Sandy had a gale diameter of 1,100 miles.
The main difference is that a hurricane that hits Florida spins counterclockwise while a hurricane that hits Australia (called a cyclone in that part of the world) spins clockwise.
The difference is in wind speed. A category 2 hurricane has sustained winds in the range of 96-110 mph. A category 4 hurricane has winds in the range of 130-156 mph.
By some estimates it is the largest recorded Atlantic hurricane with a gale diameter of nearly 950 miles.
The size of a hurricane is how big it is, usually measured by the size of the area that has gale for winds or stronger winds, called the gale diameter. The strength of a hurricane is independent of size and is usually measured in terms of maximum sustained wind speed.

the difference is that the australian scale has no category
At its largest Hurricane Sandy had a gale diameter of 1,100 miles.
The main difference is that a hurricane that hits Florida spins counterclockwise while a hurricane that hits Australia (called a cyclone in that part of the world) spins clockwise.
The size of a hurricane is based on the diameter over which it produces gale force winds.
A hurricane is a "named storm". If you do not have a named storm exclusion then your wind coverage will cover hurricane damage.
The difference is in wind speed. A category 2 hurricane has sustained winds in the range of 96-110 mph. A category 4 hurricane has winds in the range of 130-156 mph.
By some estimates it is the largest recorded Atlantic hurricane with a gale diameter of nearly 950 miles.
A hurricane is a storm. A earthquake is movement of the earth.
