good day from new york. let's go to the other coast where millions of people are scurrying, where over half a million students and that of course means by extension, their parents and families were told this morning no school today. if you go to school in the l.a. unified school district because of what someone called a level one threat, a serious threat as they saw it, arriving electronically. we presume that to mean via e-mail. associated press says it originated from overseas. that has since been reported to us by the chairman of the house homeland security committee. the net-net bottom line of all of this is no school today, stay home. so especially working parents are scrambling and especially in those households where they missed the robophone call this morning or the phone call never came, their children were already on buses. we are giving you what overhead shots we get from knbc in los angeles, where this is a huge local news story this morning. miguel almaguer, our correspondent in our los angeles
