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...
