With the hurricane coming, I was wondering where I can find a store that sells battery operated Televisions. I live in Connecticut and will probably be in the eye of the storm.
Well, heres another question. Do they even sell or make those small battery operated televisions anymore? If they do, please respond to this post. Thanks!!

I'm guessing Radio Shack, but I did buy one, five years ago, at CVS for $25. Stay safe.

You can also try Goodwill or any other thrift store in your area. If you find one that runs on batteries, be sure it has the audio/video jacks so that you can connect a converter box if you're planning to watch local channels. Some battery operated tv's made before the digital conversion have no way to connect a converter box. If you're planning to get a newer one then just disregard what I said.
