October 23, 1920:
Dr. Ted Fujita was born in the Fukuoka Prefecture of Japan.
Fujita devoted his life to the study of tornadoes, supercells, and downbursts. He is most notably the creator of the scale utilized by the National Weather Service to rate tornadoes.

Tetsuya “Ted” Fujita was born on this day in 1920 in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan. He arrived in the U.S. with $22 and little English but defied scientific consensus to revolutionize tornado forecasting. His discovery of downbursts and microbursts also redefined flight safety. /1

Fujita’s study of the 1974 Super Outbreak connected the dots with his atomic bomb research 30 years earlier. He noticed “starburst” tree damage patterns, discovering “downbursts” and “microbursts.” In 1975, he mapped the phenomena to the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 66 at JFK Airport. /9

Nun ja, es ist verglichen mit anderen Wetterereignissen wie Downbursts oder Großhagel tatsächlich selten, auch in den USA. In den USA gibt es halt eine ausgeprägte Stormchaser-Szene, die alles dokumentiert.

- The NTP has determined that damage at Toronto and Orr Lake was caused by downbursts, ratings still to be determined.
From Sep 3 #ONstorms
- It appears likely that the damage being reported in east Windsor is due to a tornado, and a survey team will visit tomorrow to confirm that and rate it.
