The programming feature is great. The only drawback for where I live (not really a drawback - just a reeeeeeeal early or late warning depending on their direction) is that I get all of the marine warnings too.

I use my Icom m-72 marine handheld for a weather radio when I am on the water or even at home or work, when I expect severe weather. It gets updates as soon as NOAA issues them. Ofcourse you will here everything in the area but it is worth it. Also, we get severe weather alerts on our Fire Department radio like spotted tarnadoes or hail, as soon as 911 recieves the info from EOC.

I have a little, yellow, waterproof one that's a little bit bigger than the old Motorola StarTac cell phones. I also have a battery/"crank" version with a AM/FM and LED lighting. Then I have a VHF police and fire radio in my personal truck. Additionally, we have one in our office, and I have weather bands programmed into the VHF in my patrol vehicle and walkie talkies.
My CB radio in my truck has a weather band, constant updates. I am never to far from the truck to go and check.
