Tornadoes to not get actual names as hurricanes do, but are often referred to by where they hit or, occasionally, some other notable characteristic.

Once such instance was the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This tornado was one of only a handful to have torn through parts of three states, in this case Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. This mile wide F5 tornado killed 695 people, marking it as the worst tornado in U.S. history. The tornado also had the longest damage path on record (219 miles), the longest duration (3 hours, 29 minutes), and the fastest forward speed (at one point 73 mph).

Tornadoes do not have names, but as to fame, it is probably either the Andover, Kansas tornado or the Greensburg, Kansas tornado.
