Tetsuya Theodore Fujita ( / fudit /; FOO-jee-tah) ( , Fujita Tetsuya, October 23, 1920 - November 19, 1998) was a Japanese-American meteorologist whose research primarily focused on severe weather. He did it all in his head, refusing to use computers. **Beaufort Force 8 corresponds to a wind speed just slightly higher than the start of F0; Beaufort Force 12 (the minimum wind speed required for a tropical storm to be declared a hurricane) corresponds to the start of F1.

Folder 26, "Annual Number of Tornado Occurrences," map, undated. Dr. Fujita, known as "Mr. Tornado" after developing the international standard for measuring tornado severity, also discovered microbursts--sudden, severe downdrafts that can result in 150 mph winds on or near the ground--after studying the starburst patterns of trees uprooted by tornadoes. The cause of death was not disclosed. [5] In addition to developing the Fujita scale, Fujita was a pioneer in the development of tornado overflight and damage survey techniques, which he used to study and map[6] the paths of the two tornadoes that hit Lubbock, Texas on May 11, 1970.

Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States in 2019 based on the 87,647 death certificates in which diabetes was listed as the underlying cause of death. "If you take too much insulin and your blood sugar goes way down, that can cause seizure, coma, and death," Dr. McClain said. In 1953 he was invited to the University of Chicago by Horace R. Byers, who had become interested in Fujita's research, particularly his independent discovery of the cold-air downdraft.
