chad myers, as always, all over this one., want to share this report out today. ranks the most economically powerful cities around the world. the outputs of $400 billion each year. did any cities make the cut? the top five. paris coming in at fourth. chicago, taking the number three spot in the most economically powerful cities here, london. what other cities cracked the top two. that's after the break. >>> newly released report ranking the most economically powerful cities. what are the top two? taking the number 2 spot, new york city with an economic outpit of $1.1 trillion. the number one city is, what is it? number one, tokyo. >>> back here at home, people from phoenix, to l.a. hit social media after seeing this mysterious object lighting up the sky. chad myers, you know what, i saw this thing first thing this morning. i thought, is it the piece of satellite? we were talking about it yesterday. >> it was too ironic that we talked about this thing that was going to come down in the next couple of weeks. we don't know when.

want to go straight to chad myers. earthquake reported in guatemala are. >> yes. not that far from guatemala city. about a 5.8 quake so a little less than what we saw maybe across parts of the u.s., but understand that most of the buildings here are not ready to withstands an earthquake like this. it's only about 25 miles deep, 30, 35 miles away, that doesn't tend to be very far away from the city. that red dot is the earthquake. just south of mexico, this is guatema guatemala, el salvador and honduras, guatemala city. there are already a couple of dots because there's probably already been an aftershock. 5.8, 10, 15 minute s ago. trying to find out if anybody from there is tweeting. so far nothing out of that capit capital. >> apparently a spokesperson for the president of guatemala says people have been buried in the rubble. to your point, i was in guatemala city a couple of years ago and you're right buildings are not at all up to par. >> right. they're made of brick and stone. when it shakes, it falls apart. a wood structure does much better because the wood f

of course we head to the man with all the answers on this stuff, chad myers.ing south, is it? p of i can tell you from a weatherman's perspective, it has a 71% chance of hitting water. >> okay. >> is that good? the earth is covered in it 71% water. that's why. that's where the number comes from. there is no possible way that i could tell you where it's going to land without being able to tell you what quick shop would sell the winning powerball tonight. >> darn. i was turning to you for both. >> can't do either. even nasa says there's about a one day plus or minus when they know this will fall. even when they give this this two-hour window, warning, there's still plus or minus 25 minutes from that two hours. so hour and a half or two and a half hours from when they tell us. the only problem is it's going so fast, in that time this thing travels 7,000 miles. look at all the rest are of the space junk up there that has to fall down someday. 4,000 pieces of junk up there. there's 1,000 satellites that are actually really working. there goes one fast. i love watch

chad myers is here watching this all.ought that's facing texas. >> that's the first problem. then we had tropical storm lee. where did lee go? where did lee make rainfall? in the southeast, not in texas. what did lee do in texas? it just made wind. and wind and fire and drought never go together. here's what it looks like. satellite picture of what lee did, came onshore in louisiana, moved right over mississippi and now on up into the northeast, spreading very nice rainfall, nice spread, just nice calm slow rainfall. we did have a couple tornadoes, i understand, and there's still that potential across parts of the carolinas even up to d.c., but there is texas. you got nothing except the back side of the wind. as i show you what the wind did, there's austin, georgetown, that would be i-35 up toward dallas, you can see the smoke from the satellite and nasa just gave us some great pictures. they flew over this from the iss and there you see the pictures. the smoke still coming out, containment near zero. the firefighters doi

terek and chad myers is standing by. wanted you to join the conversation.e ask why this is happening, the significance of this particular tumble, talk to me about when. how soon is this satellite supposed to hit earth? >> well, the latest update we've got from nasa now, all signs point to friday. nasa's been keeping a really close eye on this satellite. six and a half ton, as you menti mentioned. it's just been getting lower and lower from space over the last few days. they think they've got it narrowed down to friday. it could be thursday. could be saturday, but right now, everything seems to be trending for friday some time that day. >> from what i've read, you have these 26 pieces of the satellite wearing more than 1,100 pounds are expected to survive this ats peeric burn. this happens in terms of satellites falling down to earth, but the news here is the pieces that will survive are fairly sizable. >> that's right. about a half ton of material. biggest piece is going to weigh something like 300 pounds, so it's not small pieces of debris that you might m

we know they need it, chad myers.. >>> now, listen to this. >> our youngest child was murdered on september 11th. >> murdered? >> murdered. on his death certificate the cause of death is homicide. >> a young man, 25 years old of age, didn't even work at the world trade center. just happened to be there at a conference when terrorists attacked on 9/11, 2001. his family turned their grief into a message. one the entire world is hearing. elizabeth and steven alderman are good enough to join me live and tell me their story, next. and form a resilient layer called biofilm? biofilm germs are strong enough to survive daily brushing. thankfully, there's listerine® antiseptic. its triple-action formula goes deep to penetrate biofilm, kill germs and protect your mouth for up to 12 hours. aaaahhhh...

chad myers joining us from the weather center. as didn't get the rain from tropical storm lee. but is there any relief in sight for them? >> the winds are calming down now, randi. they didn't get any rain and they got the backside, which was the dry windy side of the storm as lee came in across louisiana and now is heading up towards the northeast creating some tornado potential across the carolinas and virginia. ha lee really brought to texas is enough of a difference between the low pressure here and high pressure here making gusty winds all across eastern texas yesterday and that caused winds to gust almost 30 miles per hour at times. blowing the smoke away from san antonio and from austin here. but it's been such a spectacular fire. due to that wind today, the wind dying down, they'll get some potential. they'll bring a little bit of this under the control. by the time we talk about tomorrow, the winds will ploe in from the east and that may blow into georgetown, to round rock, austin, maybe into san antonio. if you smell smoke

chad myers, keep a close eye on this path please, sir. >> still going 17,463 miles per hour so it's not coming down yet. >> not yet. chad, thank you very much. and now this. >>> basically they have no case. there is no case left. and i'm very hopeful that by the end of the month we'll get to bring amanda home. >> amanda knox entering the final phase of her appeal. her father believes in her innocence, but will she really be able to now walk away clean? cnn caught up with her family. and then this. the palestinian authority pushing for united nations to recognize palestine as a state. mahmoud abbas, the leader, calling this a moment of truth. but will this end in disappointment for the palestinian people? back in two minutes. i want healthy skin for life.

chad myers is here because he knows we like to talk everything space what is it? they call it may be in the habitable zone, meaning it may have water. >> remember the story about goldy locks and the three bears, not too hot, not too cold, just right? that's where the habitable planets, it's just right. now, it's big, though. it's 3.6 times the mass of the earth. that tells -- these astronomers say, hey, this is a rock, not just some gas planet going around. this could be real. and it's 77 degrees, at least that's what they think. >> i like it that. >> that's the -- isn't that perfect? >> 77 degrees? >> with a view of the ocean? >> like all the time? >> and only 36 light years away. >> it's beingcalled something with a lot of numbers. >> what about naming it bob? >> something better. i was looking at my notes, 36 light years away. >> correct. >> so that means we will never live to see what this may be. >> it it also means we can't see it. they think it's there. they believe it's there because of this telescope in chile. how this happen sz they take it a look and th

cnn meteorologist chad myers joins us now with the latest. n, since the earth is mostly water i'm assuming the biggest chances is it's just going to hit water. where is this satellite now, and how long before it's supposed to actually re-enter the atmosphere? >> it is over the indian ocean right now. the forecast, anderson, that it's going to be four hours before it makes hopefully splashdown. but nasa's also saying that's four hours plus or minus three hours. so that's like it could happen an hour from now, it could happen seven hours from now. it's kind of like having a one to twelve-inch snowfall forecast. somewhere between one and twelve inches. not very accurate. and literally, they don't know where this thing is going to splash down, or hit the ground. they have literally at this point no idea. it's been a slow tumble to the earth today, and it has been tumbling. nasa saying that they think that that's why it's not falling as fast, is because of the tumble. but there's india right there. its next pass will be just south of australia. the

let's get more from our cnn meteorologist chad myers. 00 chance of a piece, one piece, hitting any one person. so not too worried. but the problem is the biggest piece, wolf, is 300 pounds on impact with the earth. not much bigger up above, but a lot of this is going to burn up. there is it the uars satellite. right now it's very close to the eastern tip of australia. see this pattern? it cops and goes a lot like the iss pattern if you wanted to look at it as well. travels across the globe in sections and around and around and around. literally they don't have any idea where this is going to land. the uars, the upper atmosphere research satellite. it went up in 1991 to study the ozone layer. in 2005 they decommissioned it, brought it down to a lower atmosphere so they knew it would tumble in out of space and into the ground. the problem is 26 pieces of this are going to hit the ground. many will burn up. 26 pieces will not burn up all the way and the biggest one will be 300 pounds. it will fall along a 500-mile stretch from where the firs

chad myers is here now with an update. if you can believe it. >> yeah. >> it missed the u.s. but stayed together and slammed scotland and ireland with 60-mile-per-hour winds. that's why you can never give up on these things, even up into nova scotia, you know how they can be affecting your area, the atlantic canada, newfoundland gets smacked every once in a wall. there it is through oslo and stockholm, sweden. right over scotland. there we go, this is marimaria, still a gutter ball for us. going to be very close to better mud da. going to turn to the right and move north and northeast. that is good news. some other good news, some of pictures out of texas, not so bad todayful the winds have died down. firefighters getting a handle on many of those fires that have been out there for so very long. there is still a fire threat, still a little bit of a wind threat for places around dallas today. but look at those pictures. that's what people are coming back home to in parts of pass trup county, northern sections north of houst

. >>> way nt to go back to chad myers who is watching the wind, humidity an the gulf. fact. chad, is weather going to help, do you think or hurt texas more today? >> weather helps the firefighters. but really it's not helping the people of texas much. because now the haze and the smoke and the fog and all that, the smog into austin, into san antonio, certainly into corpus christi, but it's been there. the thing is, for most of the time and lee, i know we hoped that lee would bring rain to texas. that didn't happen. lee brought wind to texas. lee was to the east. there was a high pressure to the west. there were strong northerly wind. those winds just fanned those fires on saturday and sunday and into monday. now, lee is long gone and the wind are long gone as well. so those calmer wind will help because you don't push embers miles and miles ahead and start more fires. it's almost like using the old bellow to get your fireplace going or how the blacksmiths used to make iron gettinger and faster, the more -- the hotter the flame. >> this very well may be nate in the gulf

. >>> last but not least, about chad myers as we are talking about that satellite.o weeks now. i'm looking through my work e-mail over the weekend thinking, okay, the big moment. where did it land? >> where is the video? >> where is the video. >> where is somebody's iphone? >> some reporters said, yes, they thought they said some pieces of the satellite but nasa is not saying yes, i did fintively. >> i think it fell somewhere between hawaii and portland. i was on the tweet deck until 3:00 in the morning. if you are in portland, go out and look for it. they said, we didn't see anything. if portland didn't see anything, it burned up north of south, southwest portland, didn't see it there. >> but there are pictures pf people who thought they saw things. this is over minnesota. i can't tell what you that is. there is one up near calgary. somebody let chinese lanterns off in the sky and they videotaped the chinese lanterns. on the video, look, look what we see. so there is a lot of moeks hoaxes out there. this is something going up or down. >> nasa hasn't identified the

chad myers is all over this story which we think has been undercovered in fact. >> the latest is thisthe storm that irene was supposed to be for new york city and this is the storm that tokyo is going to get. yoek ham ma will get. 25 or so million people in the way of this, a million people already being told to get out of the way for flooding. does that sound like vermont, new hampshire, from the last ire irene? it's called a tie phone. cyclones and typhoons and hurricanes are all the same thing, they are in different oceans so they are called different things, typhoon roke heading to tokyo harbor, i'm sure ships are leaving town, over yokohama and makes landfall tonight south of tokyo. the fukushima day chi nuclear plant right here. this is a huge mountain range. if you pile water with rain up along that spine, all of that water has to drain back to the ocean. there will be massive flooding and massive mudslides with the storm as it runs to the north and northeast. keeps on going and moves away from but not until wednesday, moves away from the state and country, all the way up to th

chad myers, to hear this is pretty cool. a super-earth. >> bigger than earth.e it until next year until they build a bigger telescope. the sun that's going around is wobbling because of its gravity. that's how these telescopes know that there's actually going around the sun up there. the thing is, hd 185. this thing needs to be called goldilocks. >> why? >> because it's just right. 77 degrees. that's what they predict. they think it's 77 degrees. that makes liquid water not ice and not steam. how about that? >> all right. >> something else to worry about, uars satellite. guess what, it's falling from space. it was decommissioned five years ago. it's falling down. it may crash down depending on where it goes. it's the upper atmosphere research satellite, started there in 1991. the heaviest piece could be 300 pounds. this is big as a bus, a school bus, it's going break up and be scattered around. the debris field could 500 miles long. the biggest piece at 300 pounds, that will leave a mark. >> should i stay inside tonight, what should i do? >> not tonight. it won

. >>> next on reporter roulette, chad myers in the weather center. >> about more space junk.man space telescope. >> this one has more potential to hit the ground with bigger pieces because the pieces that are up there, are ceramic and glass. >> leave it to the germans. >> hey, they make great lenses and they made a great telescope. the ceramic and glass will not disintegrate like a lot of the pieces did the uars last week. yes, believe it or not, i want to say it, 800 pound piece could come bouncing down to the ground with this one. the last one the uars was only about 300 pounds. >> one pound will probably hurt you. >> no matter what it's going to leave a mark, right? the good news, the last one we know, nasa has made a definitive answer to this. the last satellite did not make it very far off the coast of africa here on its way back around and into australia before it burned up south of australia. here's the path of this is called rosat. it is just come across the south american continent, going to be moving up over and into europe and asia and every other pass it gets clos

extreme weather expert chad myers will join us next hour for much more on the storm's potential threat to the fukushima plant. >>> in kcalifornia a key announcement is expected to the case of kelly thomas, the mentally ill homeless man who died after a violent confrontation with police in july. the orange county district attorney is set to announce whether he'll file criminal charges against six fullerton police officers involved in thomas' arrest. thomas' father filed a claim against the city and numerous members of the community have expressed outrage over thomas' death. we plan live coverage of the district attorney's news conference coming our way next hour. >>> a georgia judge is considering an emergency appeal to block tonight's execution of troy davis. davis is scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection for the killing of a georgia police officer in 1989. his lawyer claims there's new evidence. most witnesses who testified against davis have recanted. despite that, members of the georgia board of pardons and paroles refused today to reconsider their decision denying clemen

>>> chad myers, talk to me. a possible tornado. >> near the naval station.view naval station from south of newport news and north of norfolk, really, but moving across this peninsula here, it moved over the circulation, right over the beltbay, right off to your west. there's a lot of circulation here. so this is a very populated area here of the hampton roads newport news area. take cover now before it moves off and eventually into the bay and eventually into the ocean but for now this is a pretty significant event here for you. if you live anywhere within, i don't know, five miles from bay view, take cover in the naval air station right now. >> chat myers, keep us posted. send tweets to cnn. >>> she's known for her lyrics, and rihanna was asked to cover up after going topless after filming her recent video. set the scene, beautiful countryside, near bellfast in northern ireland and she was dressed in this racy outfit. she shot the video from a christian farmer that owns the land. he pulled the plug after things got to risque. a.j., what exactly was it that

chad myers explain to us, it is pretty extraordinary.ey see that initially, after saying, oh, that's really pretty. wait a minute, what is that? >> if you live that far north, you've seen them before. but it was a very large solar flare that came out called a coronal mass injection. this came out on saturday and sunday and eventually into the ionsphere and if you went up into the pole areas, you could really see of it. all of this came out of sun spot number 1302. it came with a big, big, just a huge area of -- even the international space station could do it, of this magnetic pole energy. they're called the aurora borealis. let's take a look at some of these pictures. really all you want to do with this is just say, ohh. this is the segment, things that make you want to say ohh. the pictures coming here from our ireporters, they are just so incredible. i have seen the aurora borealis, the northern lights, just one time in my life. i was up in northern minnesota, in the detroit lakes area fishing, it's just something. it's mesmerizing. >

want to go with chad myers. where are we talking? how strong?ly big earthquake, 6.7 on vancouver island. this will be british columbia even about 150 miles from vancouver. maybe a couple hundred miles, 250 maybe to seattle. but i'm sure this was felt in seattle. if you felt the ground move because of that, 6.7, it's a pretty good quake. now, the only issue with this compared to the one we had in virginia, which was a whole magnitude smaller, 5 something, is that this one is fairly deep. about 50 miles deep. that means there's 50 mile offense padding. or the shaking is 50 miles away even from the surface. if it was 100 miles away from vancouver, that makes it 150 miles. there was shaking. so so far no reports of any damage. we'll keep you advised. no reports of tsunami issues with this whatsoever. but of course, we'll keep you up to date. >> back to the future fan? are you a fan chad? i wanted a hover board. remember the shoes that michael j. fox wore in the sequel? you need a reminder, here you go. the shoe is back, as in back to the future. her

chad myers has the latest from the cnn weather center in atlanta. what is the latest?. the track will take it south of australia this time around the globe and then on up toward mexico. but where is it going to go from there? every hour and a half it goes around again so every one of the lines you see, an hour and a half in time. the hour and a half as it comes on up, it would probably go right over honduras. an hour and a half, it would be over mexico, still going around. but this thing refuse toss get low enough to start to skid on the atmosphere. as soon as it gets low enough, it will start to really almost burn up like the space shuttles, you see them get very, very hot. all that is drag, the slowing-down process of things in space. right now it's going 17,479 miles per hour and is still 97 miles high. eventually, it's going to get a lot lower than that. the big deal here, wolf, is that the earth is not a sphere, not a perfect sphere. it's actually bigger at the margins here, bigger along the equator because of the spin so as the satellite goes around, it will even
