[Xastir] I think someone changed something about Weather Alerts

Ah Ha...a little progress..

Here's the filters I was using:

Rotate.aprs2.net:  m/500 -b/WINLINK
Firenet.aprs2.net: -b/WINLINK -s/w m/500 f/K4CDN-5/500 f/K4IHD/500

I got tired of over 5000 stations/objects, etc so on a lark I changed things 
to:

Rotate.aprs2.net: m/500 -b/WINLINK e/WE7U-WX/AE5PL-WX/KJ4ERJ-LS
Firenet.aprs2.net: t/n e/WE7U-WX/AE5PL-WX/KJ4ERJ-LS -s/w

And now some of the polygons (and more!) are also "filling" like I expected 
them to and Wx Alerts now has data.  So apparently the "fill-this-in" part of 
things is only on APRS-IS now....or at least since the last major storm that I 
kept an eye on over the East Coast.

And thanks for the pointer Lynn about the lighting data...I'll add that to my 
standard configs...

Thanks Lynn,

That explains the Lighting Stuff...which being so transient (and somewhat rare 
around Puget Sound) explains why I haven't seen it before.  And that also 
explains why they aren't Wx Alerts...

But after several hours of running the View/Wx Alerts list is still empty but 
there are Flood Warning objects and counties/polygons...so something isn't 
matching up anymore...

I inject two types of lightning objects into firenet.us from KJ4ERJ-LS.?
