contribute some $50 billion to the u.s. economy each year. the quake aftermath adding another challenge for some of the 430 wineries here already shaken by california's historic drought. >> it is a double whammy. the whole industry, i think, is going to struggle. but napa folks are resilient. we'll get through this. >> reporter: leaning on each other to rebuild and regrow hally jackson. we're monitoring the tropics. one in the atlanta and one in the pacific. hurricane staying away from the u.s. it could bring dangerous surf, however, and rip currents up the east coast. and hurricane marie is now a powerful category 4 storm hundreds of miles off the coast of mexico. it's expected to steer clear of the u.s. as well. our partners at the weather channel report it could mean the largest stir-up event off

through voice and facial recognition techniques. despite the fact the killer was masked. >> they say they can never be 100% sure, but they believe they've got the individual that actually conduct the killing. >> reporter: tonight intelligence officials tell nbc news they won't release the individual's name because they don't want the suspected killer to know he's being tracked. just back from his vacation president obama is waging whether to take a step into syria. >> it's important for the united states to pursue a comprehensive approach to countering the threat that's posed by isil. >> reporter: general dempsey recommend against air strikes in syria. the pentagon is preparing options to confront isis both in iraq and syria. they include intelligence sharing with european allies and partners in the region, more arms to rebel forces and air strikes. a senior administration official tells nbc news potential targets inside syria have already been

identified. in spite of the current assessment, expects the u.s. will turn up the heat on isis. >> i think it is extremely likely that the u.s. over the coming weeks will hit targets in syria belonging to isis. without doing so, we will be faced with a very difficult challenge simply playing the defense on what is a real terror threat to the united states and europe. >> reporter: complicating matters, the syrian regime today warns the u.s. against any military action inside syria without syrian consent. if the u.s. does strike isis in syria, white house aides tell nbc news not to expect any presidential announcements, lester, until after the fact. >> all right, peter. thanks. in ferguson, missouri, today the streets were cleared. no marches, no protests, as thousands gathered in nearby st. louis for the funeral of michael brown, the unarmed teen shot and killed during an altercation with a police officer. nbc's ron allen has our report.
