Somehow I don't think it's shapefile related.  I need to talk to some of 
the guys at SPC in Norman.  May be an excuse to go up there as I've got 
business across the hall from them at NSSL, too...

As to the new shapefile of the hour problem, we've also identified 
problems with NWS GIS products they weren't even aware of.  The "We" is 
a guy in training in the COMET program in Boulder, and me.  We've been 
saying the same things in isolation for about the same period.  Now 
we're getting more traction as a team.  I'd really like to see us fix 
that problem before we see NWS issue too much more data with little 
spatial QC.  Their intent is good but these guys are weather geeks who 
have also discovered GIS and may not have studied some of the subtleties...
