Report comparison · 3 notices

Each report is compared with an earlier notice it explicitly cancels, when available, or with the preceding report. Changes refer to recorded wording and parsed fields; quoted lines are textual differences, not a verified account of how an incident developed. Nearby reports can describe different hazards. A status explanation is given once, on the first notice with that status.
