EF scale question.

[Jeremy Miller]

Hello folks,

I was just reading the thread on the F4 in canada. And the following discussion on Evironment Canada's descision to not use the enhanced Fujita scale. I am wondering what the late Mr. Fujita himself would feel about the revision of the scale Himself and Mr. pearson (sp) developed?. Is there anyone on ST who have met Mr. Fujita or knew him?. How do you think He would feel about the revision?.

I hope I'm not bringing back a dead horse, if I am please feel free to direct me to the previous discussion.

Thanks folks, stay safe out there!

Jeremy

His son was part of an all-day session put on by CMU earlier this year... He said that Dr Fujita would probably have had public reservations about the changes, but given his push to always improve -- would have understood and accepted the need.

I was also at the CMU session (as a member of the Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society and helped put it on) and thought his son's presentation captured the spirit of Dr. Fujita very well, considering the back story and Dr. Fujita's pushes towards something very similar to the EF scale.
