Best Answer

Tornadoes are sometimes given unofficial names for the places they hit.

For example, a few famous tornadoes are known as the Moore, Oklahoma tornado (1999), the Wichita Falls Texas tornado (1979), and the Waco, Texas tornado (1953).

Tornadoes do not have names like hurricanes. Instead, they are typically named after the location or event associated with them, such as the date or time they occurred or a notable landmark in their path.
