I really don't want to find a windows box or load a virtual machine on
the server just to run UI-View :) After all its maintained by a dead

I played with the 'area objects' tonight. I think these will be a much
better solution than what we have done on previous flood seasons. 

The severe weather alert polygons would also be a great solution, but I
have no idea how to generate the format.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
