Actually, I do have two copies of the county files for

This is a roundabout way of getting there (I got there by accident), but
the National Atlas has a counties shapefile that's different from the
NOAA counties shapefile. I use Nat'l Atlas for drawing maps and the
NOAA version for alerts.
Shapefiles are at nationalatlas.gov, and a dbfawk to start tinkering
with can be found at

Just a reminder that SVR, TOR and FF watches are now county-based rather
than parallelogram-based, and as of 1 OCT SVR, TOR, FFW and SMW warnings
will be polygon (storm-) based rather than lighting up a whole county.
