What is the Fujita Scale used for and who was it named for.?

What scale could you measure tornado damage?
There are three scale that can be used. The Fujita Scale (F0 to F5) which was used rotate tornadoes in the United States until 2007 and still is used in other countries such as Canada. The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF0 to EF5) which uses essentially the same categories as the Fujita scale, only the wind estimates are adjusted and damage analysis is more detailed. It is used primarily in the United States. The TORRO scale (T0 to T11) uses similar damage and wind estimates to the Fujita scale, but has 2 categories for every 1 on the Fujita Scale. It is primarily used in Britain.
