Tornadoes are not given names, hurricanes are.Tornadoes are usually referred to by the places they hit. It hard to say what the most famous tornado is, but here are two good candidates for the title:

  • The Oklahoma City tornado of May 3, 1999. This F5 tornado tore through the Oklahoma City metro area, causing its owrst damage in the communities of Bridge Creek and Moore. It is referred to as the Oklahoma City tornado, the Moore tornado, and the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado.
  • The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925. This F5 tornado tore a devastating path across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, killing 695 people. It was the deadliest tornado in U.S. history, though not the deadliest in world history.
