This band sweep is more focused than most because of horrid weather we are getting in the Midwest. I have been listening to my weather radio a lot more this weekend. The Website for NOAA is here. The two weather radio stations I here most are WXJ58 out of Fort Wayne which is channle 7 on a weather radio or a frequency of 162.55 and the other is KXI94 out of Angola which is on weather channel 2 or a frequency of 162.425. I bounce between these two a lot because we are just about in the middle of these two stations and depending on how the weather is tracking, one station may be more accurate for us than the other. This is especially true when storms and bad weather is coming through. Five or ten miles can make a big difference in the weather you get sometimes. It was true this weeekend when you look at how the damage was done from the ice storm. From what little I saw, Fort Wayne and Allen County was hit harder than Garrett and DeKalb County.
Sorry if I have been sounding like a PSA and trying to sell weather radios. Weather Radios are safety equipment that I find is a neccessary thing. The State of Indiana seams to agree with me. Check this link out. I am not one for a lot of regulation but this one makes sense to me and I don't live in a mobile home. That's my soapbox for the day and take it for what it is.
