One thing to consider when doing this work now is that several Warnings 
are now presented as polygon objects instead of Counties (at least 
officially; the software updates are not rolled out yet to stop warning 
whole counties, but the intent now is to _not_ warn whole counties). 
See http://www.weather.gov/sbwarnings/ for more info on SBWs.  The 
intent is to reduce the warned area to more sharply focus on an area of 
maximal potential for storm damage rather than warning a whole county 
when only, say, one corner is at risk.  We're still in a learning phase, 
honestly, and if you follow AccuWeather's blogs you'll likely see all of 
  the warnings that were off by even a minute amount...
