[EAS] Making a better alerting system

[Dave Kline]

Actually, I think with weather it would be harder to employ sub-counties just because weather is, for the most part, a large scale event AND a moving target.
Imagine getting four different TORs for the same Tornado for one county, not to mention the county that the Tornado was in before or after the current one.
I think the sub-county alerts would be better suited to something like a train derailment/toxic spill type event. But the use of sub-counties would also have to consider the size of the county.
