Hurricane action is gonna be hot and heavy this season, and we’re not talking about the bawdy antics of the U of Miami’s 7th Floor Crew. According to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the North Atlantic could produce four to six major hurricanes in 2006, as well as a slew of smaller indie hurricanes with less destructive force but lots of plucky DIY spirit. Get caught on the wrong coast at the wrong time and it wouldn’t take much of a hurricane to deal a serious bummer to your funning, sunning plans. But how can you keep tabs on these potentially picnic-spoiling storms when the powerful pro-hurricane lobby maintains a stranglehold on the mainstream news media?

By going straight to the source, that’s how. These Cobra 6 Mile GMRS/FRS Radios are more than just a powerful pair of walkie-talkies – they also let you tune in directly to the NOAA’s ten bands of official, state-sponsored weather reports. Previously heard only by crusty old fishermen and pasty radio geeks, the NOAA broadcasts bring you the best, most up-to-date weather alerts this side of your granny’s arthritis. Ever heard of a little outfit called the National Weather Service? They’re actually a sub-agency under NOAA’s umbrella. NOAA is the boss of them. Yes, you are impressed.

But these Cobra 6 Mile GMRS/FRS radios aren’t just foul-weather friends. Even under clear skies, you and a lucky pal will enjoy communicating at hypothetical distances of up to 6 miles, all in the same strong UHF/FM signals that carry the glamorous stars of television and radio. Handsfree voice activation lets you call for help without letting down your guard when you’re fighting off rampaging wolverines, and 38 privacy codes keep your whispers hidden from prying ears.

When God says to NOAA, “There’s gonna be a floody, floody,” you’ll be able to get a head start on building that ark. The heedless fools may drown from their indifference and hubris, but you and two of everything you love will be bobbing along like you’re on a pleasure cruise and exclaiming, “Thank you, Cobra 6 Mile GMRS/FRS Radio with NOAA Weather Bands!”
