This antenna is small, portable, and can be operated by battery. Check it out on Amazon. A good idea is to get the powerq antenna sold at Amazon for your tv laptop.

Maybe if enough people who live in the hurricane areas like me keep asking we will get a answer. I am so glad other people are asking the same question I have been

I have lived through Hurricane Ivan (as well as others) and life without TV is brutal. I have 2 battery operated televisions and when cable goes down-even if electricity is available, there is no news. I have gone online looking for an answer. If you find it, please post. Thanks.

What the (blank) are we supposed to do when the power goes out? I can't afford a generator, as most people can not. Why in this hi-tec age are we left with more stressful stuff like this?

HOW CAN WE GET WEATHER ON OUR BATTERY OPERATED TV'S AFTER THE CHANGEOVER? I think it's really important, but I have written to everyone including the FCC and all I get are letters about how wonderful digital TV will be. Has anyone out there gotten an answer? Are any companies making a tv that will do this? Thanks, I have been searching everywhere and I still can’t find an answer. HOW CAN WE GET WEATHER ON OUR BATTERY OPERATED TV’S AFTER THE CHANGEOVER?

The cable went out about 9pm. I plugged in my old battery/ac TV to watch the coverage as you described. The TV blew a tube. I just ordered a new 2009 compliant 8" ac/battery digital TV. You are correct. Ike has devastated the area. The storm came in last Friday, today, Thursday there are still over 1 million people without power. Some may have to wait 4 weeks to have power restored. I am lucky, my power was restored last Saturday night. I belive the investment is worth it to have a battery TV. I live just outside Houston. The cable went out about 9pm.

Steve Winwood's soulful vocals have entertained these ears since "Gimmie Some Lovin" was newly minted some 40+ years ago. Think his youthful appearance is natural, or (now at age 60) does he have a Dorian Gray portrait somewhere? Noticed and appreciated how most of Tom Petty's collaborators stood along the same level around the stage: Reminder that it's not just Petty, it's also the Heartbreakers.
