Here's my internal diagnostics along with the raw packet from aprs.fi:

So, the object starts at 48 23.10N 115 33.90W
Line type 'j' (Green Solid)
Object type '0' (Closed Polygon) Interestingly the points close the polygon anyway and I gather it's NOT supposed to be filled?
Scale 'I' or 73 which is 0.01 units per increment

NH = 78/72 or 0/-6 increments which I thought was 48 23.10N 115 30.30W which is indeed EAST of the start because of the negative? JN = 74/78 or -4/0 or 48 20.70N 115 33.90W (Negative N/S is south, zero E/W offset) PT = 80/84 or 2/6 or 48 24.30N 115 37.50W (Now North of the start, and 6 puts us further WEST of the start?) RN = 82/78 or 4/0 or 48 25.50N 115 33.90W (Still North of the start, but zero E/W offset)
NH = Same as first

So, the N/S offsets are supposed to be E/W in-line with the object itself (2nd and 4th points). Both images agree with that.

The first point is N/S in-line and EAST of the object...Yep, my debug has the right value, but my plotting is worng. Copy/Paste error between the debug and the actual point calculation!

The third point is supposed to be NW of the object, but mine is NE on the plot even though my debug has the right coordinates. Funny how a little +/- swap will do that to an image!

Thanks for the screen cap of what it should be Tom!  And for the bandwidth!

I don't know if this will come through, but is this what the MSOFFWKYA
flood warning should look like?

Looks like you might have a sign error in decoding.  When I view the
object in Xastir, it looks almost like a mirror image of what you show there.

Take a look at http://www.swcp.com/~russo/imgs/MSOFFWKYA.png for what
it looks like here.

It sounds like yourself, Gerry, Alex, and I are all interested in doing something about this. Perhaps Tom and Lynn as well. We happen to have flood alerts happening in my county right now.
