     The thing is...people would rather spend money on tobacco, alcoholic   
   beverages, pornography, etc., rather than buy a NOAA Weather Radio that   
   could save their life. While not in "Tornado Alley" per se...Arkansas is   
   in "Dixie Alley", which tends to get more tornadoes...and most of them   
   occur after dark.

     Unfortunately, old habits die hard, and not many people want to be   
   educated...even if it's in something that could save their life. :(
