Don't know what you're missing, but I caught the ones from Miami, Tamp, 
and Melbourne and then watched as the alerts moved up through 
Jacksonville.  But then, I'm drawing a full feed from firenet.us.

Just in case I missed something, I turned on Wx Alert Logging, but it caught nothing.  For a while, I sat and watched the feed from rotate.aprs2.net:14580 .  There was plenty of incoming data, but no weather alerts or related cancellations.
