Have you ever been worried to turn in at night when the weatherman is calling for severe storms?  This Midland WR300 clock radio uses S.A.M.E., Specific Area Message Encoding, technology to allow you to hear emergency weather alerts for your local area from your clock radio.  This alarm clock turned weather radio allows you to program up to 30 county frequencies, which means you can use if from multiple locations effectively.  I think this weather scanner radio would make a great substitution for a traditional alarm clock at home as well as a camping radio.  The weather radio measures 7 x 5.5 x 2.2 inches and requires 4 AA batteries.
