These are the unsung heroes of our agency, supervising a staff of five (and sometimes getting their hands dirty too!) that keep things running, from the weather radar you take for granted on your phone, to the observations at airports that let your flight land and take off...

On This Day in the year 1700, a giant earthquake and tsunami swept into our coast. We know it was on this day because the tsunami reached Japan and they recorded the "Orphan tsunami." Geologic evidence on our coast left behind silt and "ghost forests." pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp

As you commemorate #MLKDay, please remember my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no MLK Day.
