Weather Radio recomendations?
Heading back to the east coast from Seattle in a month and watching all the difficult/dangerous weather. Do you have a recommendation for a good weather alert radio? I have read reviews and none ...

Interesting that you mentioned this. My provider, Verizon Wireless, started automatically giving severe weather alerts about a year or two ago and I noticed that sometimes the phone alerts before my Midland Weather radio does.
Btw- I was on an FCC Advisory committee for two years looking at EAS for broadcast, but there were others dealing with cellular distribution, and several other outlets. I met the guy that owns and runs the company that supports Weather Radio for smartphones. All those things I've been nitpicking are things we talked about as potential problems that might kill an otherwise bulletproof system. So it's not just me being negative about this stuff.
