One other change in the feeds is they're no longer posting a 'Green' (all's well) entry.. just the absence of an alert is indicative of 'Green'. They call these feeds 'legacy', but they're associated with the Meteoalarm V2.0 release.

Their new https://meteoalarm.org/ site looks pretty, but is glacially slow in loading due to one XML fetch for the JSON of all active warnings (Bleah!). I've not found a way to subset the request to a single country, but will continue looking at that option too.

If there is something that can be done, I'd participate in a donation. I've had some emails over the past 3 or 4 weeks asking why I didn't show warnings anymore. I had no explanation at the time.

It shows that people do indeed take notice of them, even if they're on a small independent weather station site.
