[EAS] Making a better alerting system

[Marlin Jackson]

We occasionally have severe thunderstorms that roll through several counties.  It's normal to get alerts as they move through each county. Being hit with an alert for each sector in each county wouldn't be good. Luckily tornados are very rare here.

Since the beginning, EAS can parse counties into nine sectors.
It may not be perfect, but how would we know it wouldn't be an improvement if it isn't being used widely?
