Less Expensive S.A.M.E Weather Radio

[Michael Nie]

This is not an endorsement of any product manufacturer or retailer, but I
thought some of you may be interested in this information.

I walked into my local Sam's store today and found they had programmable
weather radios.  I believe they are made by Midland.  They were under $50.
These are the least expensive I have seen the newer programmable weather
radios.

We believe, along with many emergency managers, that NOAA Weather Radio
(NWR) provides the best personal warning possible of impending severe
weather.  Until recently, choices were rather limited.  Lately, more
models
and brands have been making it to widespread marketing.

The bottom line - Severe weather season is here.  If you don't have a NWR
receiver, you are strongly urged to get one.
