Description of feature request
Just so that things don't get stale, i want to suggest different shapes and sizes for the tornadoes. In reality tornadoes don't always take a full on cone/funnel shape, they can take on other shapes aswell such as thin-ropes, stovepipes, wedges etc.
Read more about it here.

the 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore tornado is a example of a wedge tornado
While this is an interesting idea, getting tornadoes to look good while being procedurally simulated is very hard to achieve without being to realistic or not being good enough, HOWEVER it is not impossible. If you generate the tornado as an invisable shape with blocks building the funnel walls and fog inside, it could be possible to do this, but making them unique would likely need proper thermodynamics simulation, which takes time and I do not think will be coming anytime soon. Remember, no two weather systems are the same, especially tornadoes.
Hey you! You forgot this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_tornado
This isn't a tornado shape, its a type of tornado.
