I was able to perform the update and install on Wednesday night.  I also ran the get-NWS script again.  It reported that my files we already up to date. 

Last night we had two severe thunderstorm warnings here.  I was here when they occurred.  Xastir did not receive any alerts.  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.

I may have to try firenet instead.  My concern there is non-serious alerts, since I Gate to RF.  We will see what happens.
