Keep an eye on twisters with the Stromtracker

stormtracker_2.jpg

The Stormtracker Weather Alert Radio (manufactured by Vector under the Weather Channel brand) is one gadget you'll definitely want to have with you when that big storm could strike. This baby is loaded with features, though it can't toast marshmallows unfortunately.

What exactly does the $150 price tag get you? Continuous updates from the national storm alert/hazard warning system (with a severe-alert alarm), a built-in 5-inch black-and-white TV, various power options (including a hand crank), area light, flashlight and cell-phone charging. Wow — by the time I figure out how to use all these features I'll have been swept away by a twister.
