This week was...

This week it was all about fire, fire, fire, Katrina, fire, fire, Katrina, Anderson Cooper, fire, fire, football, fire, fire that's bad but not that bad, fire, Katrina, Hollywood, fire, Anderson Cooper, fire, fire, AND Abbie.

Enjoy your weekend San Diego... you deserve it.

The Coop is still in the building! (Alternative headline, The Coop hasn't flown the coop.)

The Coop is in Rancho Bernardo! He's rocking that "in the field with my safari looking jacket and my mussed hair from my serious in the field reporting because I'm a field reporter damn it" look. *Drool*

According to The Coop (who is never wrong, look at that face, that face is RIGHT). "California has maxed out it's firefighting resources and is asking the Federal Government for help."

There are at least 15 active fires tonight, statewide nearly a million have had to flee. San Diego county came within minutes of a major power outage but managed to clear a threat before it took out the last major power line.

Now back to his planet in peril.

The Coop is still in San Diego in his tight tshirt reporting from Qualcomm, looking clean and happy.

The Coop is reporting that winds are dying down to 20 MPH (vs. 100mph winds of before). They are expecting the firefighters to get ahead and on top of the fires tomorrow. We're reaching the turning point.

From the ashes, a miracle. The Coop comes to San Diego!

The Coop is in San Diego! Standing in front of an oogling crowd of Qualcomm goers is one Anderson Cooper, reporting from the San Diego front lines.

Oh Coop, if only you could have come to visit for different reasons (we're a lovely city you understand), but I understand you're exploring your "Planet in Peril."
