We've got the Midland weather radio and I am very satisfied with it. When you set it up, you can identify multiple stations so you can get alerts for multiple counties. Since we are north of 466 and very close to Marion county, I've got mine to alert for both Sumter and Marion counties.

Which ever brand you choose, I would highly recommend getting a weather radio. I say this because when we were just renting, we woke up the first of February and turned on the TV to find there had been a tornado that went through the Mallory Hill area. We had slept through the entire night without any knowledge that the storm was approaching. So my advice is to get a radio. There are no Tornado warning sirens here in The Villages.
