"...nearly 300 sleeping campers were caught unprepared and 20 lost their lives when a flash flood struck the Albert Pike campgrounds."
300 reasons to upgrade coverage.
"Albert Pike has irregular topography with steep terrain, and many popular campsites are in low-lying, remote areas. Since the Weather Radio signal can't reach everywhere, I urge campers to check the weather forecast before they begin their camping trip and test their NOAA Weather Radio receiver before setting up camp to ensure access to timely weather and flood warnings."
X2, still there are many who don't have receivers which is a good reason to encourage people to have them and bring them along when they are on the go. Even low end models without SAME code capability are better than nothing.
