I used to depend on those a lot when I lived in Atlanta. The thunderstorm
watches and warnings were handy for when I was out and about. Sometimes the
warning showed up before my NOAA radio beeped.
One would have to wonder if there was a way to limit the distance that the
alerts propagated on the network and over the air. I mean it's APRS, position
and time are available so surely it can be filtered in some way.
