US Weather/Disaster alert data ?

Back about 10 years ago, in the rolling blackout era here, I wrote up a
script to check the Calif ISO status page for any upcoming events. Can't
find a working user-53a6225a91a9@xymon.invalid, but the text of the script is at

http://support.bb4.com/archive/200210/msg00544.html

*shudder* .. old code. I'm sure the page layout has changed, so it'd need
some tweaks.

There's a state-specific CA EDIS XML feed at
http://edis.oes.ca.gov/index.atom that might be useful for you to read
from.

I have an old script written by David Schronce for the original Big
Brother.  It grabs a page like this one:

     http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KTUL.html

parses it, looks for key words and send red, yellow or green status
messages depending on the results.  I made a few modifications to it .
 It's probably still running at EDS in Tulsa, even if they won't admit
it...  :-)

I'll tidy it up a bit this evening, make it work with xymon-4.3.x, before
releasing it back to the wild.

I had it reporting for a pseudo-host called Weather, with columns for
several cities.

Has anyone here ever hooked xymon into any sort of public alert system
, such as EMWIN?
Are there internet-accessible feeds of this data?

Been searching around for a while, I keep finding commercial services.

thanks Betsy
(thinking of all the things that could trigger alerts at our company,
this is one of the few that isn't in xymon)
