I'm too OCD for that. "Things" would get into my water. A waterBOB or just get water bricks are great for water storage and my peace of mind. Of course, your water tank should hold around 50 gallons.
There is actually a whole series of these "You Can Be a Woman...(TM)" books and they are by author Judith Love Cohen. Some lovely examples are:
Zoologist
Cardiologist
Chemist
Marine Biologist
Astronomer (I don't think this is a part of the aforementioned series but I feel strongly that my Astronomy professor had to have read this one.)
I actually have a degree in computer science and work as a practitioner. I just never really liked either stats (past visualization, I confess everyone likes pictures) or vector algebra very much.
The Tim Vasquez books look awesome, this one in particular. I will write the company and ask if they plan to release texts (other than the Storm Chasing Handbook) electronically.
If you're into a great localized book about weather: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1886228124/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8jInybT4F7F2S
The man also illustrated it himself. He was approached by Disney to become an animator but decided to stay in Cleveland and do the weather instead.
I have a undergrad degree in Met and I would recommend: Understanding "Weather and Climate" by Aguado and Burt
http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Weather-Climate-Edward-Aguado/dp/0321595505/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304087943&sr=1-2-catcorr
If you don't need wind direction, too, this one looks like it'd work. You'd just need to ask about getting a longer wire.
I just bought one of these the other day for the same reason:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003A21DQA/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_E6a5CbC1YMNAT
It would fit more into the mobile/portable category. It feels kind of cheap but works well. It has LED lights, AM/FM + NOAA + SW radio. You can also charge your phone off it, but the battery capacity isn't great for that. It can be charged via USB though, so if you had one of these plus a couple portable battery packs you'd probably be set for awhile.
A more stationary option would be one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Midland-WR120B-WR120EZ-Certified-Trilingual/dp/B00176T9OY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=weather+radio&qid=1558450236&s=gateway&sr=8-3
We have several scattered around my office and they can be programmed to only alert for certain counties or at certain thresholds - severe weather warnings only vs watches. That type of thing. They're loud af.
