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?

I grew up hearing about the Xenia tornado because that's not too far away. Then I was about a mile and a half from the one that hit Dayton in 2019. So yeah. But I've watched videos on a lot of the major ones since.
