I am not asking for sympathy. I am asking for INFORMATION.
The storm was coming in the darkness of night. I just getting ready for bed.
It would be nice to know if anyone has a Brand name of NOAA radio that will auto scan and or an android app that does not rely on being connected to the internet to be able to sound an alarm and wake me during the night.
THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE - now off to a new campground.
