With hurricane Irene passing through this past weekend I quickly shopped for an AM/FM radio. I found this one: Sony ICF-S10MK2 Pocket AM/FM Radio. Cheap, runs on 2 AA batteries, and worked great. A++, would buy again. I actually bought 2, one for my mom. I ordered them on Friday and paid the $8 to bump each one up to overnight with Prime, and they were both delivered Saturday morning. Unfortunately I wasn’t home to receive it, and the package weathered the storm on my front step.

Times like these you learn the real value of low-tech. iPhone, useless. The only way of getting information was this wonderful $10 AM/FM radio. Thanks Sony and WLNG!
