I can get you close enough tho.  Try Tupelo, MS.  It's a little ways off
but it doesn't work at all, just like where I live.  lol  I tried a
couple other towns in other states, some of them have NOAH and wettercom
settings.  So, it appears that cities close to me are just not on some
sort of list.  Hmmmmm, may be a whole new problem here. 

Where is the config file?  I'll delete that thing and give it a fresh
start.  It's not like it is going to hurt anything since it doesn't work
now anyway.

Still think I need a hammer.  o_O
