Fujita refers to the Fujita Scale, which is a system of rating tornadoes bases on damage. It has six levels ranging from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest. As of 2007 tornadoes in the U.S. are rated on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, a modified version of the scale meant to give more accurate ratings. It runs from EF0 to EF5.

The scale is named for its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita, who made several important discoveries and innovations in the study of tornadoes.
