I'm thinking about getting a Crank operated Radio.. save the batteries for the TV.. (which I forgot to bring with me this evacuation).. Have the TracFone, I'm good there... can get a charge from the van if I need it..
wondering when we'll have a crank laptop..
any new ideas on what to have on hand for the next one? (which may be late next week..)

We bought one of those all-in-one gadgets last year and used it for the first time during Ike. It has a tv, radio, weather band, lights and a crank for when the batteries go low. Just a piece of advice...read how to use the thing BEFORE electicity goes out...lol!

We got ours at Home Depot...that was several months ago (way before hurricane season). It's called Tough Brite Storm Tracker.

i'm going to sugarland tommorow so i'll look for one~thanks you better watch out on buying those things, there not going to work after feburary.. not without the digital converter box hooked to it. and i believe the converter box runs on electric like a dvd player.. which renders it useless during a power outtage, the very thing its meant for ha?
