Hurricanes, blizzards, and tornadoes often disrupt the grid, cutting you off from power and water at a crucial time. Rather than surrender yourself to isolation until the storm passes, stay as connected as possible with a weather clock. Often wireless or digital, one of these devices combines two crucial features for emergencies: an alarm clock and a weather station. For the exact time, a device is always synchronized with the U.S. atomic clock and can be set with an alarm. To keep you updated on the nearby or surrounding conditions, the weather clock provides information about temperatures, barometer readings, heat index, and ice alerts and may have wind and rainfall sensors.

For being aware when a storm takes down the power, always have a weather clock on hand before a disaster hits.
