Tornadoes are not given actual names as hurricanes are, but many tornadoes are given informal names for where they hit. Some of the most famous tornadoes include:

the Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999

the Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925

the Wichita Falls Texas tornado of April 10, 1979

the Andover, Kansas tornado of April 26, 1991

The Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974

There are a number of other tornadoes that have achieved fame. It is interesting to not that all of the tornadoes above were rated F4 or F5.
