TESTIMONIAL In August of 2003, during the recent blackout in NYC, I was in my office on West 72nd Street in New York City. I was suddenly immersed in total darkness and no contact with what was happening around me -- the Emergency Radio/Flashlight provided me with my immediate ability to naviagate the darkness around me, plus instant information from the radio. Most of all, I didn`t have to worry about the radio working, because it always does with the dynamo rechargable batteries. Since then, I have bought this item for my husband and children.
