Default Why have rabbit ears?

When I bought my portable 12 vdc TV I also picked up a set of $8 "rabbit ears" antenna for it.

Advertising on the packaging suggested having a set of rabbit ears around the house is a good idea for when the cable goes out, as in storms or what ever. And I would agree, getting the power turned back on is a priority but the cable can be out for days...

So add rabbit ears to the list of stuff on your prepper list.

It does always amuse me during a good winter storm when the weatherman comes on the TV and says "250,000 homes are without power" during wall-to-wall coverage of the storm. So I'm like... well? who is watching this then if no one has power?
