Whether radio, or television,

meant for eyes or ears alone,

no matter where it is,

what it is,

who it is,

I have,

no clue what a weather radio is.

Basically a radio made for alerting you about weather conditions, such as tornadoes.

Interesting, since I don't live in an area where many weather related disasters happen, I never really would have considered getting one.

Anyone here interested in Weather Radios?

 

Not especially. I own a few scanners and radios that can pick up these frequencies. But not really interested. 

 

What I AM interest in, is the number of people who don't know what a weather radio is.... (I must be old...ugh...)

Nah, most people just don't live in areas where Weather Radios are relevant. Pretty much everyone in the midwest knows what a weather radio is and knows how to use it... You have to know for basic survival here ;)

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.
