it still scares the crap out of me when it goes off at 2 a.m.
Mine, too. I've been getting "Flooding", "High Winds" and "Tornado" warnings a lot this spring. Mine works great, but I wonder how many people will take the time to program in the correct NWS code?

I’m sure Kit Bond will be pilloried for this callous and “old school” thinking about individual responsibility.
And then the Dems will probably say: “Why should we only provide weather radios for our own citizens... what about the poor people in Miramar/Burma? We really are callous and uncaring thinking only about ourselves... Weather radios for everyone!”

If the poorest America has, can talk on cell phones as they use their lone star card...they can afford to by their own radio.

I have a couple of weather radios, and I agree that the government shouldn't be in the business of buying everyone else a weather radio with my money. I've already paid for all of the weather radios that I need, and I'm not in the mood to pay for more.
The most frustrating thing about a weather radio is living close enough to an ocean to get marine advisories. There's nothing like being wakened at three in the morning to be told to get my boat to safe harbor.

On the outskirts of Pasadena we still have the siren tests every Thursday.

Let me get this straight. This means I’m not going to get a free pony?

Mr. Loaf-You get cable and yet your area has NO local weather transmitter??! Weird.
Personally, I think it can’t be that rural if you get cable. The nearest town (and of course, gas station and grocery store) for us is 25 miles away...that’s rural! We will never get cable, or DSL, or broadband out here...ever.
