NWS is now up to 133 tornado warnings in a hurricane. Milton hasn't even
made landfall yet.
The graphic from NWS shows a lot of overlapping warning areas as the outer
rainbands around Hurricane Milton spin through the atmosphere.

Figuring out how to coordinate warning messages is still a challenge to
prevent incessent public alerting.
Hurricanes have flash flooding, coastal flooding, regular flooding,
tornados, lightning and thunderstorms, high winds, storm surges. NWS
standard templates used to give conflicting public action statements
during the same weather event with overlapping alerts.
