I’m disappointed to see it was an (R) proposing it.
Emotions getting in the way of common sense.
To: P-40
That’s getting a bit excessive.

No doubt.
Why not make a law that you cannot live in tornado alley if you cannot afford it.

You can buy one for 20 dollars. How much will it cost , with interest over the next 15 years? I’ve lived in mobile homes and always kept the tv on in bad weather.

I’m betting it would be like the smoke detectors in many homes. They exist but they don’t work due to missing or dead batteries.

Of course we will need another law regarding the batteries. Oh yes, and requiring the occupants to turn the radios on.
I love the law. It fixes everything that isn't right with the world.

Will we now have to retro-fit all those FEMA trailers the Gubmint keeps giving out?
Bush’s Fault for not requiring them before?

I think we need to plant chips in dumb people's heads. When bad weather approaches, a radio signal will trigger a small shock letting them know that it's time to seek shelter.
You'd think if you lived in a trailer in tornado alley that you would keep an eye on the weather this time of year.

Sadly, watching the news about the toddler swept away in the Texas flooding the other day I saw a woman screaming at the camera “Who’s going to be responsible for that baby?”.
I’m not totally cold hearted but she needed to understand that those sorts of things happen sometimes. Hopefully she has since come to her senses.

I think a transponder would make more sense. It would help locate the home once the tornado carries it away.

You could make a law requiring fresh batteries be located adjacent to the meth pipe.

Or better yet, a Sirius satellite radio. That way you don’t lose the am/fm signal as you are blown from one zone into another.

How about no trailers in KS, OK, MO, IA, etc..

Good, they'll have time to head to the basement.

How about a system that calls you during a warning? Most are very careful during awake hours but sometimes these things pop up at night.

They have those at radio shack. Supposedly Homeland Security can access it also now.

So whats next? Will home builders in FL be required to install backup generators in every home? Will builders in CA be required to build big moats around each home to protect from wildfires? What about builders in ND extra firewood and down comforters for everyone?
And what people who dont live in mobile homes. If an F-5 hit you it doesnt matter what type of house you live in.
If you live in Tornado Alley and dont have sense to have a weather radio, whos to say you have sense enough to use it?
