The Xenia Tornado caused the most deaths of any tornado in the outbreak.

I remember that one from the news, it being my first knowledge of the existence of Xenia, Ohio.

Again from Wikipedia:

Xenia (Greek: ξενία, xenía) is the ancient Greek concept of hospitality, the generosity and courtesy shown to those who are far from home.

Well, I learned that just this moment.

Speaking of which, ( this moment that is, ) we're just now getting T'storms here in Chi-town from the same storm front that spawned that tornado in OK. No red boxes for us, though.
