Tornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are, but are often referred to by where and when they hit. Some of the most infamous tornadoes include The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011; the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999; The Wichita Falls, Texas tornado of April 10, 1979; and the Worcester, Massachusetts tornado of June 9, 1953.
