  Does it run on batteries?

  Usually, speaking from experience, when the weather is that bad, the power goes out.

  They've had this for years

  It sounds like they are just putting a weather radio inside a TV set. Its a pretty good way to get those into more homes but my friend had one 10 years ago and it would go off whenever there was a severe storm or tornado warning. It would make a very loud noise followed by an NWS broadcast.

  I grew up in tornado country. They just had these loud sirens (think air-raid sirens) that sounded if a tornado was in the area--oh 20 years ago. That seems like a simpler, cheaper, and more effective method than "everyone buy TV's that turn themselves on when sent special signals, and then program them to alert you that a tornado is coming."

  My TV turns off by itself, an occurence that freaks me out. Quite frankly, if it turned itself on as well, I would probably go grey overnight, like the Mother in "Poltergeist."
