I just bought a Black & Decker "Storm Station" all-in-one Rechargeable
Power Source / Radio / Light, from the local Wal-Mart here in Michigan
for $ 98.76. The device has a AM-FM-TV and NOAA Weather band radio.
Built-in Inverter, and a 12 volt outlet. Also a removable and
rechargeable flashlight. I charged the device up and tuned-in the local
and not so local radio stations. It's not a red-hot DX machine but it
does do the job very well. I suggest that those of you who are in
Hurricane Country should buy one of these radios NOW... and be ready for
the next killer storm. The Storm Station radio from Black & Decker will
do the job for you very well.

I'd rather spend the money on batteries. The power can be out for
weeks. I already have flashlights and radios in my emergency kit, along
with a month's worth of batteries for all of them. I use batteries out
of the kit and replace them with new ones as they are needed for other
uses. I am deciding what small tools to add to the kit for this season,
in case I end up at a hurricane shelter again and find that there are no
tools, and a lot of things that don't work right.
