Common terms describing tornado shape:
Rope: a narrow funnel extending from a cloud base, typically winding and bending. Often indicates a weak or dissipating tornado.
Elephant trunk: a somewhat thicker variation of an elephant trunk, still inidcating a fairly small tornado.
Stovepipe: a vertical column- shaped funnel, often very large.
Cone: a large cone of funnel shape significantly wider at cloud base than at ground level.
Hourglass: a massive cloud of dust obscures the funnel.
Wedge: An extremly large tornado that appears wider than it is tall.
These terms are somewhat arbitrary and there is a bit of overlap. What one person calls a wedge another person might call a large stovepipe. Additionally, a tornado will often change shape and size during its time on the ground. Below are links to video examples.
