Since I use satellite I only have a monitor hooked to the dish box. I do have a weather radio, but the broadcasts are generally for the whole parish, and I think it is about 60 miles long! I like to see the radar for myself, I worked as a show producer in TV, and got pretty good at understanding my danger, if I can see a scope. I'll make sure from now on that EVERYTHING is on a surge protector. I found out that my DSL modem and my DVD player are fried.
