hi all. what kind of weather radio do you have ? do you like it? What
kind of antenna did you put up if you needed one? thanks. i got a
midland wr 100. it needed a little boost so i ordered a arrow antenna
osj vhf. should get it later this week. thanks. just curious what your
setup is.

I just created a shortcut to www.weather.com and click on it.
The only bad thing is that I have had 2 modems fry during lightning
storms, so I shut off the computer now and just listen to the storm.
There really is nothing any of us can do if we are attacked by a storm
anyhow.

You can get a surge protector with phone line protection, very
inexpensive. I have had one for years.

Nothing you can do if it's a minor storm, but if it were very severe you
could: board up your windows, make sure you've got long lasting lanterns &
flashlights with good batteries, put the car in the garage or under
something for hail, sandbag if you get flooding, put a sump pump in those
areas, etc.
Just stuff I've heard and or had to do.
Oh, and surge protect EVERYTHING.
I've even had an answering machine fried when I was in St.Louis.
