I guess its different if you have to constantly worry about the threat... in the midatlantic here we are relatively lucky tornado wise. I say relatively - because of the f4 that whacked La PLata off the map, and various other small twisters causing trouble here and there. But nothing like the alley...

I hope you, and anyone here that lives in tornado alley, have a noaa weather radio - it can be a lifesaver. Which brings me back to the tuner... Patrick, does the tuner chip you use incorporate the ability to tune in the wx bands for weather?
