[Xastir] I think someone changed something about Weather Alerts

To get the lightning working again I had to change firenet to:

Firenet.aprs2.net: t/n -s/w e/WE7U-WX/AE5PL-WX p/KJ4ERJ/WG3K

So I'm getting things working better and better...

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...
