Tornadoes are not given true names as hurricanes are, though they are often referred to by the places they hit (and when they hit) or, in at least a handful of cases, some other aspect of them. Examples include
- The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011
- The Wichita Falls, Texas tornado of April 10, 1979
- The Flint, Michigan tornado of June 8, 1953
- The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925 (struck the states of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana)
- The Tornado of the Elevens (touched down at 11:11 pm on November 11, 1911).
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.
Tornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are, but they can be referred to by where they hit, or, less frequently, something that they do. Some of the most famous tornadoes include:

- The Wichita Falls, Texas tornado of April 10, 1979
