What are the preferred brands and models? Publix has a hand crankable Midland ER102 and another which appears to be a table mount radio, also Midland, Model WR100. There are others available online.
Are there any pluses or minus, things to look for or things to avoid?
Seems like an important product which deserves some research.
Thanks for any input.

I was in TV last week during the tornado watch/warning and I remember the news report stating to have your emergency radio and supplies readily available. I'm thinking what the hell am I to do. I didn't have a flashlight, matches, a lighter and certainly no emergency radio...I did have a very nice bottle of merlot that got me through the evening, however.
On a serious note, I was completely unprepared. There were no emergency radio's to be found after the storm and based on recommendations, I purchased the Midland WR300 from Amazon. Oh, and I added a bottle of merlot to my emergency kit.
