Twister is a slang word for tornado, and cyclone is a synonym. They all refer to the same spiralling, funnel-shaped wind phenomenon. If it forms over a body of water, it can be called a waterspout. A whirliwind is a small, less destructive tornado. If it picks up a lot of dust or sand, it can be called a dust devil (not to be confused with a sandstorm, which can be very violent and destructive but does not spin.)
