CBS Radio Workshop: Storm (1956)
Show notes
A junior meteorologist at a San Francisco weather bureau notices an unusual weather pattern developing over the Pacific and names it Mariah. As the storm grows and sweeps toward the California coast, the chief forecaster must decide whether to predict rain, knowing how much depends on his words. Telephone and power lines, the mountain highway and the road crews who keep it open all come under pressure as the weather turns.
