Some boring Storm Data Trivia
I was looking at some Storm Data publications and notice that
the Fujita Scale (1971) did not show up in Storm Data until
the July 1981 issue. Storm Data goes back to 1959.
Storm Data was going to end in June of 1981, fortunately
they saved it, with the help of the late Dr. Fujita, the NWS
and the National Climatic Center.
Beginning with the July 1981, Dr. Fujita will review the reports
provided by the National Weather Service; assign tornado F scale
numbers, and add narratives and pictures on outstanding storms.
The April 3, 1974 outbreak, the April 1974 Storm Data had only 24 pages.
