We had one for several years. It became extremely alarmist and annoying to the point it would wake you in the middle of the night with it's screeching and traumatize you from a blissful rest.

That we finally turned it off and trusted God. We pay attention to the weather alerts BEFORE we go to bed and monitor via web sites etc.

The weather radio was sold at the last Church rummage sale. :wink:

We have received 2 over the past 4 Christmases. They were both sold in yard sales. I agree with MacUser.

The new ones are great. You can program them for the county you live in only, if you desire. This helps with it going off all the time. Is this something he has been asking for?

Ours is a Midland. have it set for the areas around us only and have had no problem. We also trust God but use a little wisdom too. Our TV is antenna only and storms come reception is gone, also electricity goes out pretty easy, these have battery back up. They will usually set it for your area for free and have instructions how to do so. I am glad to have it.
