PBS presented a fantastic documentary on Tetsuya Fujita – the man behind the Fujita scale.
For those who are curious, “Ted” Fujita moved to the United States from Japan. And used his background in engineering – not meteorology – to determine a classification for the different strengths of tornadoes.
I would write a big long bio here, but it wouldn’t come close to telling his story as accurately as the documentary.
Big thank you to PBS.org for hosting this great story online
