I was going to start a thread about "Best Radio' to have but maybe this is a better place to do it. I picked up this Sony ICF-36 radio last year and it is incredible for reception. I can even pick up KMOX (St Louis) from DC in the evenings. So if you're in need of a good radio, you might want to try this:

LOL. I'm in St. Louis and my poor excuse for a radio has trouble picking it up. It's the Rush station here. Tony Snow is on 97.1, but they only do an hour of his 3 hour show. I need to get one of those.

Below is a link to the PERFECT addition to anybody's hurricane survival gear. When the power goes out, and it usually does, there's nothing better than to be able to have a working television to track a storms progress.

The best thing about these are that they have a hand crank generator to save on batteries.

I like my hand-crank dynamo Grundig radio I got from Radio Shack. Came in really handy when we lost power for several hours last fall.

I know it won't help anyone in this current storm, but I got my Grundig radio from Cabela's (www.cabelas.com) for 39.99 plus tax and shipping. It has come in very handy during the two or three tornado warnings we have had this past summer.

Here's a link to the model I bought:
