My weather radio works!

The weather radio I bought works. This past weekend we got hit by the storms that moved across the east coast. About 1:15AM Sunday morning it went off. Tornado Warning scrolled across the display. So I got up and listened to the weather alert that NWS was sending out, then turned on the TV. About 20 minutes later a tornado touched down in the northern part of the county we live in (or so the local TV news channel said) It went off about 4 times during Sunday as the storms rolled through the area. Overall I would say it was a very good purchase.

Weather Radio

Last week a bought a Midland WR-300 weather radio. Most of you know that I am a weather freak. This is a really cool radio. The radio has the "S.A.M.E. Digital Weather/Hazard Alert" (Specific Area Message Encoding Program Service) feature, providing constant monitoring of localized NWS broadcast. I can now listen to the local weather anytime I want. Now I am just waiting for a storm to come.
