If you're going to get one get a good one
I travel a lot in my RV and always use this one.
Eton FR360-R Solarlink Self-Powered AM/FM NOAA Weather Radio - Red at $59.95 with FREE shipping, can be powered from four different sources Hand Crank, Battery, AC Adapter, & Solar Power!
FR360-R is ideal to have on hand when you’re roughing it. It makes a great addition to any emergency-preparedness kit. No plugs or wires are required. You’ll always know what’s going on, thanks to the AM, FM and all seven NOAA weather band channels.
This unique little radio can be powered by four different sources: the dynamo/hand crank which charges the Ni-MH battery, 3 AAA batteries (not included), AC/USB adapter (not included), and solar power which also charges the Ni-MH battery. Add the flashlight, the cell phone charger and you’ve got one versatile little device!
The other thing I swear by is my laptop tied to an air card, you can see the storms movement on your screen, it's all satellite.
