I've been reading this thread with interest, since I too am trying to get 
weather alerts working. I now have a symbolic link to the Counties 
directory, and can display the shapes as a map.

I have the Weather Alert Counties and Area Color Fills enabled. I'm 
listening on the northwest.aprs2.net:14579 feed. Is there weather alert data 
on this feed, or is it filtered out?
