day. it looks like the fire came over the chest back there. you can see the fire coming over the mountain. we know this is one of the risks that we have here. we are doing it strategically so we can get the people and their biggest threat done first. very scary. we started with manitou avenue north of. banging on my window. he was asleep. so i pounded on his door to get him out. that s pretty scary. it is right there. orange, a lot of orange. when you look at it coming down, she is backing down the hill, which is not what we normally see. all these fine people came to help me. they are helping me move out. i have a few thousand art works there. rocky, a fixture in manitou, art is his passion. two or three, almost 1,000 artworks in there. she has enough energy to move down. she is going to burn up into that canyon and start throwing embers. limited access, vegetation right up against houses. houses in places where there shouldn t be houses. it is ju
leak at a u.s. government lab. is an agency that s supposed to protect us from disease putting people at risk? we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i m wolf blitzer. you re in the situation room. all eyes on the u.s. supreme court this coming week as the justices are expected to hand out a ruling that will impact every american and shape the future of the country. the long-awaited decision on president obama s health care reform law. and coming just months before the election, the stakes, politically speaking, could not be higher. cnn s kate balduan is joining us now. she s got a little preview of what we could expect. set the scene for us, kate. hey, there, wolf. well, it is the biggest secret in washington and really only the justices and their law clerks know how this drama will end. but one thing is certain. we will know in a matter of days if the affordable care act stays or goes. an unprecedented decision affecting, as you sa
