We get a lot of local news from the States on Livestream, through Roku. Whenever something has been happening around the country we’ve been able to follow on a local station; and my husband always knows the weather in his home town ;-)
DH should have been a weatherman. He’d have the weather ‘channel’ tuned in and turned on 24/7 if he thought it possible. This will make it easier for viewing.
Of course, the tee vee will be of little use should storms prove severe. No power, no picture. :-/
