This is why when she was Rougestorm, she had such a difficult time stopping that storm she created. Colossus has brought her back to her moral core and she was working within those boundaries when she was trying to disperse that storm that she created as Rougestomr. She would not allow herself to ride roughshod over it. She forced herself to gently disperse it. She does this for the sake of the ecosystem. (However, sometimes she just speaks directly to the storm and commands it to disperse and it does instantly. lol)
Thor, on the other hand, does not have to be so cautious as his hammer does all the work and he does not. All he has to do is tap his hammer the prerequisite time or just will the hammer to do it and that little dohickey does it all.
Now, I did not say this, but there are stories where Ororo alters weather on a HUGE scale. For instance, even before she joined the X-Men, she dispersed a hemisphere-sized hurricane in "X-Men: The Hidden Years issue 7." She has altered weather on a continental scale more than once and globally as well.
Storm is reluctant to impose her will on natural hurricanes since that is the natural order of things. She could disperse them, of course, but it could trigger an equally devistating disaster.
Maybe I've forgotten something from the scans but the entire crisis seemed to be simply dispersing the storm into the upper atmosphere. Getting the energy from point A to point B. Apparently Thor's ability to do so is stronger than hers. Not only that, but I've never heard of Thor's weather manipulation causing any kind of ecological damage. That leads me to believe that either the hammer indeed does take care of everything more handily than Storm does or when Thor creates a weather effect it's partially or completely artificial and has no lasting effect on the ecosystem. If there's another probable option I'm open to hear it.
But clearly she is more intricate with it. I don't know how he will be portrayed now, but Thor seems to have a sledge hammer methodology with everything, and that's what all his weather feats seem to be.
