Thomas Fujita

Thomas Fujita was a renowned meteorologist known for his pioneering research on tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. He developed the Fujita Scale, a system that classifies tornadoes based on their wind strength and damage caused, helping scientists and emergency responders better understand and prepare for such storms. His work has significantly improved how we assess tornado risks and improve safety measures. Fujita's contributions have had a lasting impact on meteorology and disaster management, making communities more resilient to severe weather events.
