OK, I was just having this image of some church or something buying air time and preaching the end of the world or something. Not as worried- it sounds like maybe Ohio has a real Civil Defense program.

As for the alcohol stove, they work great. Above 40 degrees. I'm not a fan of them indoors period, even on something like a screened in porch, simply becuase the flame is so pale you might not see it if you have leak or spill that has ignited until it's ignited something else.
And a closed propane tank will be tight unless it's so rusted it's rotted through. Just watch the dial.
