SURE!
The man you know as Noah was actually a Babylonian king who built a boat to save all of his treasure (including prized animals and his family) from the unusually high flooding of the Tigress and Euphrates river. (Geologists have found evidence of several years of devestating floods there).
The story of that King became immortalised as the Babylonian myth about Ut-Napishtim.
The Hebrew's borrowed this myth, among many other stories around the mediterranian, and rewrote it for their own liking and placed it within that section of the Bible that we know as "The Books of Moses".
You see, when the Jews had been "captive" in Babylonia, they came back home with no national identity. They were worshipping Gods from all over the former Babylonian Empire. They wore clothing styles from everywhere, ate food styles from everywhere. Then, suddenly, a young priest "found" the books of Moses somewhere in the temple. Oddly enough, no one had ever heard of Moses before...but, a National identity had been born. And it was easy for the people to learn the myths and fables of the Books of Moses because they had already heard many of them before.

Noah was mentioned in the Old Testament. He was told by God to build an ark or a big boat. He was told to put a male and a female member of every species of animal in the ark. He was told to make his family and maybe others who believe him go into the ark. The Lord was going to punish the earth because it was too sinful and going against the will of God. God was going to send a flood and typhoon that would last 40 days and 40 nights. Everyone except Noah's family would drown and get killed. Then God stopped the flood and sent a rainbow to show He would not send another flood like that again.

Being a Muslim I can tell you whole narration about Holy Noah. There can be some mistakes but that will be mine not of the Koran.
Holy Noah was another messenger of Allah and sent to the Jews the remaining true people of Moses which survived and who were pious people but with the passage of time they become evil and forgot the fear of Allah. So Allah sent Noah on them.
After preaching 900 years to the Jews or Bani Israel only 9 or ten people become a true Muslim at those times.
In the time of Noah Jews do worship of different gods like. (WADAH, YAKOOK, NASAR, YAGODH, YEHWAH, etc) they were some kings and queen of their great time but were non Muslim.
So Noah just stopped them but they did not obey him even they asked for a wrath of Allah that why don’t it appear so by the order of Allah. Said Noah limit is over now. No more people will now obey you so you just prepare a boat while after creating the boat Allah ordered him to take each pair of animals and those who are with you and those who are pious so he did same as Allah told him.
Then suddenly water came up through a stove (where villagers used to cook bread) and Allah opened the doors of sky and torn the earth so the water of both was enough for them. There was so much water that no one can imagine. A single wave was equal to the height of mountain.
Then Noah saw her son standing on a cliff and Noah asked him to be a Muslim and come in to the boat but he said don’t worry messenger of Allah I will climb to the highest mountain. Noah replied, Decision is made now and no one can give you shelter today this is wrath of Allah and will pass through all the things which disobeyed HIM.
Then suddenly a huge wave came in between them they were divided then Noah asked to Allah. Oh Allah you promised me to save my family then Allah replied I said pious people but your son was a wrongly affected thing and I warn you to as well that don’t be include among them. He suddenly said sorry to Allah mighty ( The exact words can be found in Koran in BANI Israel’s chapter)
Then Allah almighty ordered Earth to stop and take its water back in it and to sky to stop now. And by this wrath of Allah doesn’t stop while it has to come and never gives time to others and this is the game of seconds.
So Allah made his promise true and by this he rectified the pious people from evil people so they could lead the world in the pursing of the law of Allah.
So Allah ordered boat to stop at the mountain of JODDI. Then they started new life on wards.
Jews says that remaining all was the jew’s nation but this is not true. They were Muslims and were of different nations.
Scientists prove the places where this kind of huge storm appeared.
Hope that will answered the question

His story starts at Genesis 5:29 and continues for about 5 chapters, (which is only about 6 pages, but I don't feel like typing it out)
