Default Re: Does anyone have a weather radio?

We picked up one of these NOAA radios (Radio Shack brand) on ebay for practically nothing; it works perfectly, programmed by a firefighter at the station in TV on CR-466 for only the tower whose name I can't think of close by to TV. The radio went off earlier today, around 5 p.m., for the thunderstorm in Marion County, which in fact we ended up driving through though to the northwest rather than the storm path to the northeast. These radios are well worth having, IMHO.
