I am interested in the development of scales to measure extreme weather.

For example, the Enhanced Fujita Scale for measuring the intensity of tornadoes, etc. How were they created? OK sure, I know someone, probably named Fujita, made a scale, but at what point and how did people just decide to go along with it?
