After the US went digital, it was impossible to find a battery operated tv for a while -- I know because I looked.

Now if a storm comes, most of us can see what is happening with our tablets or phones . . . . as long as the phone has battery power.

When I was a teenager, my parents had no television.
We used to listen to the radio and track the storm on the handouts the grocery stores handed out at the beginning of the season.
I got very good with longitude and latitude.
