Tornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are, but they are typically referred to by where they hit.
Some notable F5* tornadoes include:
The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925
The Flint, Michigan tornado of June 8, 1953
The Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974
The Bridge Creek/Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999
The Hackleburg, Alabama tornado of April 27, 2011
The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011
The Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 20, 2013
*Tornadoes in the U.S. from February 2007 onwards are rated on the "EF" scale, but for all intents and purposes EF5 is the same as F5.
