Stories and tales of the weather service

The stories and tales that are included in this section of NOAA History begin at the time of the formation of a national weather service as part of the Signal Corps. These tales include: personal accounts of lives in the Weather Service, war tales, stories of experiences in violent weather phenomena, technological tales, and an account of NOAA in the space age. Come and share the experiences of those who observed, recorded, and predicted our weather; helped us decide when to plant our crops; and maybe even saved our lives or the lives of our ancestors on the occasions of extreme weather. These stories and tales are part of the heritage of the National Weather Service.
