Scientists involved in the study of tornadoes include Howard Bluestein, Joshua Wurman, and Reed Timmer. Tim Samaras, his son Paul Samaras, and collegue Carl Young were major figures in tornado research before they were killed by a tornado in 2013. Tetsuya Fujita was probably the greatest scientist ever to study tornadoes. He created the first system of rating tornadoes, the Fujita scale, and proved the existence of multiple vortex tornadoes.
