I do have a weather radio

One of those FM/AM/weather ones.

Yes, it's a PITA when it wails for threats in the mountains or on the bay (especially late at night,) but after having been almost hit by a tornado a while ago it's worth the aggravation (at least to me)

Free from a TV Station down the road already programmed to our area. Glad we have it. It works extremely well and extremely loud. We appreciate the “aggravation.” Be nice if the service continues.

Husband had them when we lived in remote area where he was often out doing field work survey work and such. Might just have to pull things out of storage.
