Although Fujita was accepted to both universities, he followed his late father's wishes and began at Meiji College of Technology, located in the city of Tobata, on April 10, 1939, as a mechanical engineering student. In addition to taking out a loan, he worked part time as a geology professor's assistant to pay for his education. He became increasi...
On the morning of Aug. 6, 1945, an American B-29 bomber dropped the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, 136 miles from Tobata. Between 70,000 and 80,000 people, around 30% of the population of Hiroshima at the time, were killed by the blast and resultant firestorm, and another 70,000 were injured. Three days later, on Aug. 9, the air-raid sirens wail...
Fujita continued to teach at the Meiji College of Technology, which in 1949 was reorganized into the Kyushu Institute of Technology. Along the way, he became fascinated with wind, specifically wind that acted in ways he couldn't yet explain, and he wanted to get inside a storm to understand it better. On Aug. 24, 1947, his chance came. Ahead of a b...
It was fortunate Fujita came to the U.S. when he did. The U.S. Weather Bureau, as it was then known, had finally decided to attempt to forecast tornadoes – a sharp about-face from its previous stance that even saying the word "tornado" would cause public panic. With the newly realized need to verify and track tornadoes, reports of them began to inc...
On May 11, 1970, two tornadoes hit Lubbock, ultimately killing 26 people. In the aftermath, Fujita traveled from Chicago to study the damage as he had with dozens of other storms. Flying over the city, Fujita took hundreds of images, from which he created his signature hand-drawn maps, plotting out the tornado's path of death and destruction. Bring...
Over the next two decades, Fujita continued to research wind phenomena and analyze severe storms, the most extensive being the Super Outbreak in April 1974. Within about 18 hours, 148 tornadoes killed 319 people across 13 states and one Canadian province – and Fujita meticulously mapped it out. In its aftermath, the University of Chicago hosted a w...
In 2000, 30 years after the Lubbock tornado, the faculty in the College of Engineering used the data they had collected to push for an update to the Fujita Scale. They hosted a forum with a committee of meteorologists and fellow engineers and, after a long process, presented the Enhanced Fujita Scale to the National Weather Service in 2004. After v...
