Must Be An Al Qaeda Cell
Bogus storm reports probed: FBI joins search for fake warning source:
    The FBI has joined the effort to find whoever has been sending false reports of severe weather to the National Weather Service.

    The service began getting the reports in mid-April through an online form on its Web site. The areas affected by the reports have included Milwaukee, La Crosse, Chicago, and Lincoln, Ill., said Tom Schwein, chief of the National Weather Service's systems and facilities division for the central region in Kansas City, Mo.

    "We've been detecting a regular pattern of a person who has been submitting false severe weather reports that are constructed in a way that seem very realistic," Schwein said. "Whoever this person is seems to have knowledge of severe weather reports. When they send in reports, they seem very plausible."
It's fortunate that the FBI has nothing to worry about more than pranks.

    Schwein likened the reports to calling in a false bomb threat or pulling a fire alarm when there is no fire.
Oh, puhlease.
