Just announced on FoxNews TV:

San Francisco just raised the threat level from Orange to "Enhanced Orange", but there is no specific threat.

No other info.

I didn't even know San Franciso was on orange (High) alert. The country is on yellow (Elevated), but I thought only NY was on Orange.

There was another article about SF being concerned about their metro system, the BART being subject to a terror attack.

But raising it to "enhanced orange" that's almost at Red, which is imminent or ongoing threat. There must be something going on that they don't want to share with the public.

"Enhanced orange" Isn't that just some kind of gay fashion thing?

[HHFi]

Thank God they don't have to worry about suitcase nukes, since didn't that whole area declare itself to be a nuclear-free zone?

Frightening. I am having trouble sleeping and have three kids to get to church in the morning.

Where are you located? God be with you.

[FairOpinion]

Thanks for your concern. I am in Los Angeles.

But if they are targeting NY and SF, LA could well be part of their targets.

Let's hope we manage to foil the attacks.

I didn't know their was such a thing as "enhanced orange".
Shows you just how little I know.


The bridges would be another big concern but I thought Los Angelas was one they had listed a while back.

What's the difference between orange and enhanced orange, do you know? Thx

[FairOpinion]

That's the point -- there is no such thing as "enhanced orange". From orange you go to RED. The fact that they felt they want to go higher than "regular orange" is very disturbing.

It sounds like they are going to red, but don't want to call it that, so as not to panic people.

*snicker*

[Stellar Dendrite]

So are there any other cities besides NY and SF that are under alert?

[Americanwolfsbrother]

there is no such thing as "enhanced orange".

There is in S.F. Ooh wait we're talking threat levels not fashion. Sorry.AWB

[highlander_UW]

Well, the mayor of SF must be playing games again, because I thought the Left didn't believe there was a terrorist threat? Isn't that what their "god" Michael Moore pontificated?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Itth Tangerine!

[irishtenor]

Just be glad it didn't go to Fuchsia, or Mauve.

[FairOpinion]

I don't know about other cities -- I am in LA, but this was the first I heard that SF was on orange already, and didn't know when they went to that.

Heck, for all I know LA is on orange, they just didn't bother to tell us.

HSD warns the police, but they may or may not tell the residents. There was even the controversy about NY announcing the threat publicly.

Considering that AQ already tried to blow up LAX in 2000, -- but it was foiled by an alert customs agent at the Canada border -- and that AQ likes to go back and "finish the job", it could be a target.

Another thing I read, that pollution from the Port of Los Angeles reaches all of Los Angeles, so imagine if they set off a nuke or a dirty bomb there, it would impact all of LA.

[Stellar Dendrite]

Stay safe.

Let's hope we manage to foil the attacks.

I'm ready...

But first lets find out if the threat was real in the first place. Sounds more like someones's Ramadon joke than anything real to me.
