Yea, you get all the alerts.  You can see them in the View->Weather
Alerts dialog.

I'm running three copies of Xastir here, one of which will be at 100
days runtime today and (CVS version rev 1.4.1), filtered firenet
feed.  The other two are latest CVS and less than a day of runtime
each, unfiltered firenet feed.

Everything is still snappy.  Lot's of extra CPU to play with.
Running 70 to 85% idle with quite a few other apps also running
taking CPU and memory.
