>During severe weather, we often lose Internet and power (which knocks out cable TV too). Requiring working internet to watch TV to monitor the progress of a tornado in your area seems stupid and dangerous.
Radio can work, but again, I’m on the edge of reception areas and the hills make picking up FM and AM inconsistent.
In the event of a truly severe weather event (the ones where they hit the alert to make every cell phone go off), the visuals provided by television are hugely helpful.
Just listen to radio?
