The Joplin tornado was in 2011, not 1947. What is most likely confusing you is that the Joplin tornado is the deadliest U.S. tornado since 1947. The tornado that sources are referring to in that year was the one that struck Woodward, Oklahoma on April 9, 1947 killing 181 and causing as much as $173 million in damage.
