Break a leg in a storm (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gale

'storm' is the definition.
(a gale is a windy storm)

'break a leg' is the wordplay.
'break' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'leg'='aleg'
'aleg' anagrammed gives 'GALE'.

'in a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gale that I've seen before include "Force 8 wind" , "A wild storm" , "Squall" , "Fierce wind" , "Bille from a bladder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
