The best up-to-date news for weather is your local amateur radio 2m-440
SkyWarn repeater. Local TV news stations monitor those frequncies as well as NOAA alerts, but with SkyWarn you listen to the hams describe weather at their various locations and you can track any storm cell right to your backyard when monitoring their transmissions - very handy in bad weather conditions "PowerHouse Communications" wrote in message ... "Stereophile22" wrote in message ... NO\AA weather radio isn't any good anyways. During a recent "weather emegency" here, which all of the tv stations that had news departments, reported on as soon as happened, you wouldn't even know there was any weather emergency by listening to NOAA. I listenedto both during that time. NOAA was four hours behind, still playing the weather from before the "weather emegency" with no warning about it .. while the tv stations all told about it. Apparently you must be tuned in to the wrong frequency or have the wrong SAME codes set... Where do you think those weather alerts on your TV come from? Why, NOAA of course! At least that's the way it works around here... NOAA alerts the TV and Radio stations who then relay it to the public... ONLY NOAA CAN ISSUE WEATHER WATCHES AND WARNINGS, no one else! |
