Where can I get a programmable Weather Radio with alarms?
Last night I had to stay up all night watching the weather due to all the tornado and thunderstorm warnings. The weather man said there are weather radios available that can be programmed to your specific location. It runs on batteries. He said you put what locations you want in and when there is warnings alarms sound. I need one of these. I do not get local weather and the storms have been terrible the past two weekends. I live in a tornado zone. Please help me find some of these radios that are dependable. I need an alarm that is LOUD.

I purchased 2 of these to replace the Midlands I lost in a tornado on July 13, 2004. The old radio saved the lives of myself, our 5 yr old and 3 of our grandchildren. If the radio had not been gone off, we would likely be dead. I never would have looked out the back door in time to get us all in the basement before an F4 hit our home. We live in the country and I have always had a weather radio. I tell everyone I know to get weather radio ....."
