 Hi, I'm Congressman John Hostetler. As you know, we live in Tornado Alley, and tornadoes can strike at any time. In order to be prepared, it's a good idea to purchase an emergency weather band radio. You can't always rely on warning sirens, especially when indoors. An emergency weather band radio will alert you to severe weather, providing your family valuable time to seek safe shelter. Make sure that you and your family are prepared for a tornado. A few minutes can mean the difference between life and death.
