Tornadoes do not get names. They are referred to by where they hit, but these are not actual names, and the same tornado may be referred to differently.
Some notable tornadoes that have struck Nebraska include:
- The Omaha tornado of March 23, 1913. This tornado killed 103 people, making it the deadliest tornado in Nebraska history (though a few deaths were in Iowa), and the 13th deadliest in the U.S.
- The Omaha tornado of May 6, 1975. This tornado killed 3 people and caused damage that, when adjusted for inflation, amounts to over $1 billion, making it the 6th costliest tornado in U.S. history.
- The Hallam tornado of May 22, 2004. This tornado hit the small towns of Wilber and Hallam, killing 1 person. At times the tornado was 2.5 miles wide, making it the largest tornado ever recorded.
Some of the big tornado names for Nebraska include the Pilger tornado of June 16, 2014, the Grand Island tornado of June 3, 1980, and the Hallam tornado of May 22, 2004. These tornadoes caused significant damage and were among the most destructive in the state's history.
