When the tornados hit fort pane we had a weather radio, having the radio if the signal is gone we got lucky and heard a local radio station. Now for my question Has anything been done since then to prevent the station from being out when its needed ? Do you now have a backup power generator. Why have a emergency station or an interruption of t.v. or radio broadcast if it is not even used when it counts an example during 911 it never was used I drove home & later found out on the news We were already at war. Thanks for the warning hmm.
