Today is NOAA Weather Radio Day! 

A weather radio is a great way and one of the best ways to receive weather warnings. You can program the radio to give you a daily weather forecast, tell you when a watch is issued or just opt to receive severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings. NOAA weather radios operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The best part is they are mobile so you can take it with you camping where cell service may not be an option. 

The best way to think of a weather radio is that it is a \"smoke detector for severe weather\".

Most stores carry Midland NOAA weather radios for less than $30, the perfect gift for a storm enthusiast or anyone spending a lot of time outdoors.
