Just a helpful reminder that buying a weather radio may be a good idea before it is a necessity. Various sites around the internet are selling them, as are businesses in areas around the Gulf Coast, and some decent deals might be something to jump on. One site, for instance, is selling a model for 50% off, only $18 + shipping. The model includes features such as
Receives all 7 NOAA Weather/Hazard Channels
Telescopic Antenna
Uses 4 “AA” Batteries (Not Included)
AM/FM Weather Band Radio Receiver
120V AC Adapter Included for Desktop Operation
Emergency Alert Siren
Handle For Easy Carrying
Earphone Jack
Just something to consider while things are quiet (and hopefully remain that way!)
