My brother lives in Cleveland, hardly a target...he's afraid of them terrorists. We live in San Diego, south of Los Angeles. LA is a first priority target for terrorists, economic center, Hollywood and all that. We live in a secondary target for terrorists and at least eight nukes are targeted at San Diego in case of Nuclear war. The best we register are off duty cops at some theaters. And they tried that, at least hubby and I walk out and never come back.
Cleveland does not even register on anybody's primary or secondary list.
I remember having that talk with a Marine Colonel in Honolulu, over coffee...again, Honolulu is a primary target in wartime...HQ for PacFleet...and we did see milk shortages after 911, among other shortages.
Hawaiians...meh, his family in Missouri, small town, just off the interstate, were terrified.
