Most Helpful Customer Reviews By Michele "Michele" (Roanoke, IL USA) I purchased 2 of these to replace the Midlands I lost in a tornado on July 13, 2004.

The old radio saved the lives of myself, our 5 yr old and 3 of our grandchildren. If the radio had not been gone off, we would likely be dead. I never would have looked out the back door in time to get us all in the basement before an F4 hit our home.

All Hazards messages have been added to the existing NOAA Weather Radio system, which provide immediate local forecasts, weather-related travel conditions, severe-storm warnings 24 hours daily, and other emergency alerts.
