Mike--
Not all WFO's are sending these longer messages. A friend of mine just
returned from a work trip to Mississippi. A tornado warning was issued while
she was driving back to her hotel and she was very alarmed because she
didn't know which county she was in and only the county was mentioned in the
warning. The radio station staff did not provide any additional information,
so she went straight back to her hotel, only to find out at work the next
day that the warning was not for the town where she was. 

I wonder how often this happens, that people who are visiting and aren't
familiar with the area, go back to their hotels when they hear these weather
warnings and don't know if their area is affected. My friend wanted to do
some shopping before she went to the hotel, so the community missed out on a
little tax revenue. How many other visitors pass up shopping, dining or
special events because they don't know if they're in the warning area?
