Portable Weather Radio
Oregon Scientific WR601 Weather Radio
While sitting at my desk just now, I noticed that we have another line of storms getting ready to roll through our area. While I typically love to sleep during a nice calming storm, this summer our area seems to be getting hit more and more with bad weather.
During the day when you can watch the weather, it is not so bad. Storms at night make my skin crawl. Thankfully, Jesse has a radio that was issued to him by the fire department that wakes us up if the storm is getting really bad. We can’t hear our local tornado sirens from inside our house. I slept right through them at the beginning of summer during a storm.
If you are like us and can sleep through a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant, don’t worry. There are some wonderful Weather Radios available through many outlets such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, and the like. Typically, you can find one to meet any budget.
The good thing about these radios is that they could wake the dead. Seriously. They sound like that really annoying alarm clock on Saturday mornings.
If it keeps you and your family safe though, it is well worth it. You can learn more about the radio in the picture by clicking here.
