[LeArc] SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 14 for WESTERN ILLINOIS, SOUTHEASTERNIOWA, NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI

[R. Sample]

Hello All. . .
I am trying to determine if my NOAA weather radio failed last night or if
there might be other problems.

Did anyone have thier NOAA weather radio go off last night when the Watch
was issued?    If so, is a raio with SAME technology?

Thanks
