Ok, Flossie, we're ready for you now.
Well, at least we'll know what you're doing, anyway.
The Weather Channel® Stormtracker™ Series Weather Alert Radio’s by Vector help keep informed with public broadcasts of all-hazard emergency alerts through The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio. By leaving the Stormtracker in alert/lock mode 24/7, when an all-hazard emergency or weather alert is broadcast by NOAA, the Stormtracker sounds an audible alert to notify you a message is pending. Move the switch or depress a button, (depending on the model) to hear the NOAA report.The Stormtracker units are always ready to use. The main power is a dry cell or rechargeable battery, 12 volt DC power or 120 volt AC power. The rechargeable, hand-crank battery is a secondary power source for emergency use when the battery, 12 volt DC power or 120 volts AC are not available. When the power goes out for a long period of time and all battery sources have been depleted, a built-in hand-crank provides back-up power for radio, LED area light and cell phone charging functions.
And it has a 5" TV screen and AM-FM radio, too. It's not cable ready, but whaddya want for $60?

Stay safe.

Posted by: skippy at August 14, 2007 09:20 PMAs of 2000hst Tuesday it was about 95 miles due south of the Big Island. It had been downgraded to a Cat 1 hurricane. If it sticks to the projected track it ought to be due south of Oahu about 1400hst Wednesday, but many miles away.
Thanks for the good wishes, folks.
