Letter: NOAA weather alarm Marie Freeman writes: You can buy an alarm with our local frequency from NOAA weather. There's a little bit of programming, but it's not too difficult set up. And if this alarm doesn't wake you up, you're a hard sleeper, it has a battery back up. I keep mine right beside my bed, so it wakes me up. Midland, MROWR120B, WR120B Weather Alert.

They are meant to give attention to someone to seek more information or shelter if during a severe weather outbreak.
