My “Pick” for today is this super-handy Midland ER210 NOAA Emergency Weather Radio.

Are you prepared for your next major storm, the one that takes down the electric grid and knocks out cellular service? This little gem will keep you in touch with the outside world.

You can charge its battery with the built-in solar panel (or by turning the hand crank if there is little or no sunlight). It’s really a great tool for keeping up with what’s going on.
