In the mountains, bars drop—radios don’t. KXI81 (Elkins) on 162.475 MHz is your 24/7 all‑hazards lifeline when storms spin up fast.

NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts warnings, watches, and civil alerts even when cell service, internet, or TV are down—common across Randolph County’s hollows. An inexpensive receiver ($25–$60) adds a loud 90+ dB alert that can wake you at 3 a.m., buying you precious minutes during tornadoes or flash floods. FEMA recommends at least two independent alert methods; this is one you can trust.

Station specifics for Elkins:
• Channel: 4 (162.475 MHz), call sign KXI81
• Transmitter: Cheat Mountain–Beverly area (~3,900 ft), ~300 W ERP
• Typical coverage: ~40 miles (terrain-dependent)
• Primary counties: Randolph, Barbour, Upshur, Tucker, Pocahontas, Pendleton
• Weekly test: Wednesdays, 11 a.m.–noon (moves to next fair-weather day if storms threaten)

Cut false alarms with S.A.M.E. county codes (program only what you need):
• Randolph 054083 • Barbour 054001 • Upshur 054097
• Tucker 054093 • Pocahontas 054075 • Pendleton 054071

Quick-start checklist:
1) Power up, select Channel 4 (162.475 MHz)
2) Enter your county’s S.A.M.E. code; enable TOR, FFW, SVR, WIN alerts
3) Insert backup AA batteries and run a self-test
4) Place bedside or in a hallway so you’ll hear it while asleep

Pro tips:
• Choose a S.A.M.E./Public Alert radio (e.g., Midland WR120/WR400, Sangean CL‑100, Eton FRX3+)
• Keep it plugged in 24/7 with fresh AAs or Ni‑MH for outages
• If you’re in a hollow, try an external VHF antenna near an upstairs window
• Pair with Wireless Emergency Alerts on your phone for redundancy

Why it matters here:
• WV is among the top states for sudden flash flooding fatalities—early warning saves lives
• Average tornado lead-time is 8–13 minutes; a bedside NWR can give you every one of them

Where to grab one today (under $40):
• Elkins Walmart (Midland WR120)
• Hardware Plus, South Davis Ave (Eton ZoneGuard+)
• Online: Amazon, MidlandUSA.com, REI (handhelds)

360° sunrise over the Alleghenies from a historic fire tower—just above Elkins in the Monongahela National Forest

Bickle K**b Observation Tower (approx. 4,003 ft) trades its old fire cab for an open-air platform with sweeping views of Shavers Mountain, Cheat Mountain, and the Tygart Valley. A small parking area and a very short walk make the payoff big for all ages.

Know before you go:
• Access via Forest Road 91 (gravel, narrow, seasonally gated—take it slow)
• Cooler and windier at the top—pack a layer and sturdy shoes
• Sunrise, sunset, and stargazing are all stellar here
• Address: Forest Rd 91, Elkins, WV 26241
• Official info: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mnf/recarea/?recid=7054
• Rating: 4.8 (Tourist attraction)

Make it a day from Revelle’s River Resort: river time in the morning, ridge-top views in the evening, campfire under the stars back at your cabin.

Pin this overlook for your Revelle’s River Resort itinerary—who would you take up the tower with you?

Ride the rails into West Virginia’s wild heart—then wind down by the river

Departing the restored Western Maryland depot in downtown Elkins (26241), the New Tygart Flyer by Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad cruises former WM tracks through narrow river gorges, tunnels carved in rock, and cliffside curves with views you can’t see from the highway. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly half‑day (about 4 hours) with climate‑controlled coaches, big windows, open‑air spots on select cars, and narration on rail history and local lore. Fall foliage is legendary, but spring blooms and summer greens are just as photogenic.
