Oddity Archive: Episode 242.4 – Ben’s Junk: Midland WR400 NOAA Weather Radio (& other Radio Ramblings) (+ Annex Posts) (Patreon)

Given the borderline-biblical Spring we've had around these parts this year, I took it as a sign to finally put in a weather radio at Archive HQ.  Having said that, though it's not discussed here (because it hadn't happened yet), it doesn't do so well when the weather station's power gets knocked out.

Anyway, to tie in with this video, I've pulled this little gem from the Discovision stash.  Enjoy some alternately good and woefully outdated advice (especially regarding tornadoes) on severe weather: Storms: The Restless Atmosphere (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1974) – http://youtu.be/2tR-fSyF1IY

Otherwise, here is the final round of Annex posts before the new season begins next week (with the proper OA 10th anniversary episode).  Let's do that "After Dark" thing this time around...Canadian-style:
