  • Upper Falls era un lugar designado por el censo (en inglés, census-designated place, CDP) ubicado en el condado de Kanawha en el estado estadounidense de Virginia Occidental. En el Censo de 2010 tenía una población de 3701 habitantes.​ Para el censo de 2020 ha quedado disuelto.​ En 2010, la US Board on Geographic Names (USBG) había cambiado la denominación original de Tornado a Upper Falls, a pedido de un residente de lugar. Sin embargo, en 2013 resolvió restaurar la denominación original, debido a una solicitud de la Comisión del Condado de Kanawha, que determinó que los residentes de la comunidad preferían ese nombre, porque el cambio había originado problemas para promocionar el lugar.​ El CDP quedó disuelto para el censo de 2020. La localidad de Tornado se mantiene como CDP, pero con una superficie significativamente menor (9.52 km²), que abarca exclusivamente el poblado. (es)

After approving the replacement of the Tornado CDP with the much larger Upper Falls CDP in 2010, the Kanawha County Commission decided in 2013 that residents of the community supported the name Tornado over Upper Falls and requested that the name be changed back. The United States Census Bureau originated the Tornado CDP in 1990, changed to the Upper Falls CDP in 2010 and then to the Tornado CDP for 2020. The United States National Geodetic Survey maintains a bench mark in the community named Upper Falls, which has never changed. The 2000 Tornado CDP had a population of 1,111 and a total area of 3.60 square miles. The 2010 Upper Falls CDP, which was much larger, had a population of 3,701 and a total area of 17.18 square miles, making it the largest CDP in West Virginia by area. The 2020 Tornado CDP is again much smaller, with a population of 1,081 and a total area of 3.67 square miles. The adjacent Coal River gives the community its historical name from the cascading waters of its Upper Falls. (en)
