[EAS] NWS Alerts and messaging

[Dave Dunsmoor]

>...However, when reading of the counties and ...

"Counties" mean little to me, even in North Dakota where I've lived for over 1/2 a century. I know specifically the county I'm in now, the county where my son lives in WA, and the county where I grew up in OR. Beyond that, I need a map, and have little interest in digging one out while driving in various parts of the country. Further, in their zeal to be accurate, even small towns are often listed, and again, these are of little to no use, especially to folks driving here and there. 
 
>3. If it were possible to have an alert say "There is a Severe Storm on the West Side of Houston and moving West" ... as the total audio, would they be more willing to put them on the air?

This is/could be much more useful, particularly in the situation where severe weather is moving in/through an area quickly. Even referencing smaller towns names after referencing their general location to larger population centers would be good. 
 
>TIA for your thoughts.

Thank you, Barry, for being interested, and asking!
