the Moore/bridge creek Oklahoma tornado is very very famous. the tri-state tornado is also a extremely well known tornado and then the greensburg Kansas tornado is one of the most famous in the last ten years. you can also put parkersburg Iowa in that catergory as well. X
An improved and more detailed answer:
The tornado that hit New Richmond, Wisconsin on June 12th of 1899 actually started out as a waterspout that formed over Lake St. Croix. From there, it headed east in the direction of New Richmond and produced winds so strong that they carried a 3000-pound safe for an entire city block before dropping it again. The amount of flying debris was massive and, coupled with the wind, destroyed or damaged over 300 buildings.
The tornado struck on the opening day of the Gollmar Brother Circus which brought a large population swell into the small town in anticipation of the festivities that would be seen there. Just after the circus had ended for that day, at approximately 5:40 p.m., the tornado moved through the very center of town, leveling a strip of town that was 1000 feet wide and 3000 feet long. In addition, 26 different families had multiple deaths within them.
One hundred seventeen people were killed in the New Richmond tornado and 150 more people were injured. The tornado was not massive, but the path that it took and the unfortunate timing that it had made it especially destructive, as did its strong winds and F5 rating. The tornado caused $600,000 worth of damage at that time, which would be over $14 million in today's dollars !
Tornadoes are not really named like hurricanes are. They are usually named by the location and year that they struck a particular area.
Example: Oklahoma City Tornado of 1999 Example: Greensburg Kansas Tornado of 2007
Some famous tornadoes include:
It is difficult to say exactly how famous a tornado is, but some of the most famous have been:
That is difficult to determine as there is no real way of coming up with an accurate and objective measure of how famous something is. Such things can also change, as the media have created a bias toward more recent events.
A good list of candidates for most famous tornadoes, in no particular order, would be:
In modern times, the most famous tornado is probably the F5 tornado that struck Moore, Oklahoma and other suburbs of Oklahoma City on May 3, 1999.
Well, that's certainly up for debate. I would imagine that the F5 tornado near the south side of Oklahoma City (May 3, 1999) is the most well-known.
