In The OC, we’ve fallen back into the accursed Purple Tier of Forlorn Hope.

The Homeland Security “Terror Alert” code was a joke, because it was ALWAYS orange (“High”). I don’t recall a single day, regardless of what was going on in the world, where it dipped to yellow (“Elevated”) or rose to red (“Severe”). Just enough to keep people scared all the time, but not so scared they’d actually change any plans. God only knows what would have been required to reach blue (“Guarded”), and green {"Low") would likely only be possible when the Messiah comes and there is no more strife in the world.
