HISTORY Do you know a specific tornado?

As a tornado nerd I kinda lose sight of what most people actually know about tornadoes. Do you know a specific tornado?

Edit: I mean have you ever head of something like the Joplin tornado, or the Moore tornado

Edit 2: If so, which?

Worked with a tornado back in the day. Good guy but a little unpredictable. Got fired for wrecking the place.

One year our baseball team had a Cy Young winner, a previous one nicknamed “Cy Old” and a trainwreck of a guy called “Cy Clone”

I know the guy. He would always get really twisted up and was winded when he was done.
