The storm cut through the region in the middle of the night when most people were sleeping. Because of that late night stealth move, a weather specialist at a Fox station in Tampa urges consumers to invest in a $35 weather radio.
The meteorologist --Paul Delgado -- offers this explanation for his recommendation of a weather radio for safety.
1. The cost is relatively low.
2. We should leave our radios (with batteries) on at all times in a closet.
3. The radio can be programmed to filter out clutter and to alert you if a tornado is about to strike.
"Leave it on. The radio will wake you up if a tornado warning is issued for your area," Delgado said.
Bottom Line: The loud warning from the radio will wake you up in the middle of the night and give you the opportunity to scramble for a safe room in the event of a serious storm.
"It could be the best $35 you've ever spent," Delgado said.
