Ted Fujita was the most amazing meteorologist of my lifetime.

He took a forensic approach to studying weather and, among other accomplishments,
- Discovered the downburst which stopped what was them the #1 cause of airline crashes
- Created the Fujita Scale of tornado damage
- Discovered so much about tornadoes that I can't list all it here
