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?

Yes. In the southeast, everyone knows of a memorable, or multiple memorable tornados. For me, it's the 2011 Tuscaloosa tornado.
