Pete's alerts DO make it from APRS-IS through firenet.us to clients.
APRSISCE/32 generates the following filter pieces to ensure proper
reception of all of the weather alerts (Pete's, Curt's, and Australia):
t/n e/AE5PL-WX/WE7U-WX/WXSVR-AU
Alternatively, if you only want the alerts for selected CWAs (), you can
put them into a prefix (p/) filter like:
p/CTP/JAX/KEY/MFL/MLB/MOB/OUN/PBZ/TAE/TBW/TSA
That one gets stuff around Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, and Florida and
covers both feeds because they share the CWA as the prefix for the alert
packets.

PS. As a matter of convenience, there's actually an active coordinate
alert right now in RNK (Roanoke, VA). Here's how APRSISCE/32 displays
it along with the popup information:
Here's what it looks like with the shapefile alert around the lat/lon alert:

Thank you for the note. I added the Firenet.us as mentioned, and

I believe that's one of the types of messages that gets turned into
the severe weather polygons. By Pete. I'd have to look at the
particular message to be sure, but if it doesn't have a certain set of
machine-parsable info inside it, my script ignores it. Some of the
messages have only the polygons in them, and I seem to remember the
tornado messages were in that category.
So... If you want both types of weather alerts right now you'd have
to connect to both firenet.us (to get mine) and aprs-is (to get
Pete's). Sorry about that, but at least there's a work-around. Lynn
probably knows off the top of his head, but Pete's alerts must not get
propagated across from APRS-IS to Firenet? I seem to remember that
some of my initial alerts bled over to APRS-IS, but I think that was
someone gating from local RF here to APRS-IS, not an actual gating
from Firenet to APRS-IS.
