It's always the right season to have a NOAA weather radio.
Retweeted by RogueAltGov: https://twitter.com/RogueAltGov
Hawaii has reintroduced a warning siren for nuclear emergencies, something that hasn't been done since the end of the Cold War. We didn't have NOAA All Hazards Radio back then, but National Emergencies are also broadcast through the system. Do you have a NOAA All Hazards Radio?

NOAA Weather Radio
NOAA Weather Radio (NWR; also known as NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards) is an automated 24-hour network of radio stations in the United States that broadcast advert-free weather information directly from a nearby National Weather Service office. A complete broadcast cycle lasts about 3 to 8 minutes long, featuring weather forecasts and local observations, but interrupted when severe weather advisories/warnings/watches are issued. It occasionally broadcasts other non-weather related events such as national security statements, natural disaster information, environmental and public safety statements (such as an AMBER Alert) sourced from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System.
About 133 transmitters have been made available online at http://noaaweatherradio.org/. Weather Underground discontinued live streams of NWR broadcasts in 2017.

Storm Watch? We have that during the year mostly for tornado season just in case I am out in the field not paying attention to the weather. An extra 10 bucks or something and they call you if you are in the direct path of something severe. 
The nukes are coming, take cover?
This is really very sad. I feel like those of us my age and older are coming full circle. We were weaned on Duck and Cover and now here we are again. Let the old nightmares resurface.
