The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Oh sure how about exploded by cell phone?
I do not get CLTV

[JustPiper]

we never hear anything of it again

Bush did say most we wouldn't hear about, how can they cover leaks though? Especially in a dim city

Yeah, I have studied Andrew a good bit. Weather was the first subject I intently studied, I could probably take any TV meteoroligist'ss job if only I had a degree in meteorology! ;)

Andrew flew across Florida (I think it was moving 20mph+, which is very fast for such a well defined storm). My family has friends with horses in the area, some farms were completely lost. It was a terrible storm, the wind with Andrew was too much for many to handle. The Homestead area was in ruins after it went through. It was amazing that only 23 people died in the storm.

Most of the recent tropical activity (past several years) has been flooding more than wind. Isabel was a biggy last year (category 5 before landfall), but mostly noteable for flooding once it came ashore. Storm surge is always a big killer with big storms, and especially in low lying regions. If New Orleans was hit by a CAT 3+ storm correctly, much of the city would end up underwater.

I think they'd like to be a sports channel, but they have to report a little news to pay the bills. LOL

was not incendiary in nature

does a radiological need to burn?
reporter first said no explosion then he said it was not a major detonation, sounds like he was being fed what to say and I'm supposed to feel good because they give an all clear?! Blech!

All clear in my city means no republicans

That's a nasty bow echo, people at the apex in NW indiana must be getting clocked. Looked like Chicago missed out on the worst of it.

So true!

"It was amazing that only 23 people died in the storm."

Yup, that was the public number.

More died after the storm. From a variety of causes. Acute lead poisoning being one.

I'm enjoying your enthusiasm for storm tracking!

Are you certain you don't want to look into that meteorology degee?

Interesting, I hadn't heard of that.

lol, I've studied meteorology on my own since I was about 6, I have just about every book ever made on the subject. :)

Physics is a pain, I get bored too easy with math in general.

I think it will be more useful to the country if I continue with my current plans. A PhD in Middle Eastern Studies and knowing Arabic will help us all much more than having another goofy on-air personality.

Weather will always be a hobby, all fun -- none of the stress of a boring job.
