Tornadoes don't have names. Instead they are usually referred to by where they occur. The most significant tornadoes in recent U.S. history are the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham, Alabama tornado of 2011, the Hackleburg, Alabama tornado of 2011, and the Joplin, Missouri tornado of 2011.
Two tornado that are exceptions to this rule of thumb are the Tri-State tornado and the tornado of the elevens. The Tri-State tornado is so called for having carved a 219 mile long damage path across parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. The tornado of the elevens touched down at 11:11 pm on November 11, 1911, killing 2 and injuring 9 for a total of 11.
