Great job Wade, very good info and rules to live by. Having lived along the Gulf Coast all my life, I've witnessed a lot of devastation and sometimes the loss of life due to tornados and hurricanes. Have been involved in some major evacuations. Improvement of severe wx notification through the use of these wx radios has made a huge difference. Knowing what to do when the alarm goes off is the key. You laid it out very well. Good job.

My wife and I like our little Midland WX Radio. Just under $30 at WalMarts. I noticed she got it out for me yesterday to hook up in the RV at this new stop. We also have a little handheld Marine Radio I haul around when RV'ing. Interesting to listen to when camped near lakes and other waterways. It has a weather alert system in it as well. I think it's also a Midland. Not expensive at all and allows emergency communications if ever needed.

Thanks for posting.

73,
Jim
