That's the ID number the NWS gives us -- makes it much easier for them
because when they get a report from 270-77 they can type "hail 270,77" into
the RDA console and it will pop up on the screen.

One thing that always has confused me -- who cares about "severe" lightning.
I doubt the NWS uses it, they already get NLDN maps, and don't issue
warnings for "rough lightning."
