The good 'ole nanny state. Mind you in some respects the great
unwashed bring such treatment upon themselves by not exhibiting any
"common sense" when confronted by a slightly dangerous situation and
none at all in a seriously dangerous one.

I can imagine for British ears this warning-system sound very very
inaccurate -- but its okay with us :-).

No, sounds very good. None of this half a guess at 4 days out with
reluctance to down grade or cancel the warning once issued. I'd much
rather have something with better accuracy at shorter notice.
