New Laws Include Weather Radios

Last updated on Monday, July 2, 2007

(EVANSVILLE) - New state laws take effect today, including one to require mobile homes to have weather radios.

The law was prompted by a deadly tornado that killed 25 people in the Evansville area two years ago.

Twenty of the victims were in mobile homes, and officials say few of them had radios.
