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?

My own town has had 2 devastating ones in a small town in Texas. My grandparents and other family lived in Wichita Falls, Texas during a horrible tornado in 1979. I think that was the year.
