Looking for one that will charge a phone possibly, if not, I can get a power bank. I live in Moore, so its a necessity I have put off for too long. Not sure about the ALERT feature, as many people tell me they turn it off as they get too many alerts that are unnecessary, irrelavent etc
I was checking into the same thing last night, but was looking for an app for my phone. Looks like there's a couple of options for Android and iPhone, but I have a Windows phone, so... not so many options.
I have been using the eton FRX3 for the last year, I really like it. Small, charges usb powered devices (cell), has a hand crank as backup charging, solar charging also, and NOAA FM/AM. I just let it sit in the window sill and it stays charged. Price is actually cheaper now ($37) on Amazon then when I bought it last year. Not sure if it does alerts, I just turn it on when I feel the need.
I know what you mean, we were at Buck Thomas last year for practice and I was glued to my cell watching the radar. I thought for sure it was gonna break loose any min.
We play at Buck Thomas, and you can never tell whether MYBA will cancel or not. There are times we thought for sure we would play and get cancelled (usually after we get to ball field), and days that we couldnt believe they cancelled.
Another option is to check with ur community Emergency management and see if they have a blackboard where when signed up on it will send out notices of storms and warnings to ur cell phone and/or landlines, ours isnt the best but will keep u inform of any possible bad weather approaching the area.
