We bought a NOAA radio (~$40) from LL Bean to track tornados from our 
basement in SE Michigan.

It is a very poor device.  Its RF front end tunes poorly, the antenna is very 
directional.  We have to hold it near a window on the SW side of the house to 
get any reception at all.  We leave the TV on when we retreat these days.

frozen Michigan, where the water is too hard to paddle and too soft to 
snowmobile (not that discourages Darwinian processes).
