chad, i have never seen an earthquake in miami, have never seen an earthquake in atlanta. why haiti? >> because there is a fault that lies right through the dominican republic and right through haiti. this is called a slip fault just like what we would know as the world series earthquake. there is a fault that runs right through the country. in fact, all the way even into the british virgin islands. there were earthquakes all the time in puerto rico, just not that common in haiti. so the fault was going this way on one side, the fault going on this way on the other side. that's different than what was, let's say, the banda aceh quake, which was basically a fault that moved up. we had a seduction going to banda aceh and another piece of dirt or earth going across that way. when it broke, which was right here, the earth moved up, literally feet into the air. that pushed water out of the way and that pushing of the water created the big tsunami. there was a stsunami watch with this but there was never really a big tsunami threat with this earthquake. it was all shaking. a 7.0

to 38 in atlanta. really cold air coming in from north. big reason for that, a trough and jet stream eastern half of the nation and center of the u.s. a western ridge, warmer temperature, but that trough we have in the east, allows colder air to come in and we're talking about cold air at this hour that is to the tune of 23 degrees below seer know fargo. 15 in duluth. 20 below in thunder bay and right here in international falls, this area, brooke, when he a spot where we had 32 below seer pope trust me. people living there, deal wig that stuff, that circle is more of a frown. it's going to be a rough time for them, to say the very least. however, warmer conditions on the way. expecting a few changes mid-week. what's going to happen, a lot of cold air moving into parts of the southeast. a mix of sunshine and clouds for much of the southeast. then we see a transformation in weather conditions when you get up to parts of new england. case in point, maine. parts of maine, the corridor, northern half of the state up to a foot of snowfall betwe

atlanta 34 degrees for you. miami, 63. you should be in the upper 70s in miami so pretty cool there. we head over towards los angeles though, the southwest, that's where we find some warmth finally as we get down into southern california. very cold conditions. as we head through the next few days we'll keep it quite chilly. looking at a map of the departures from average. wherever you see blues, that's where temperatures are going to run on the cool side compared to where they should be this time of year. that will roll all the way into our monday and even into tuesday. quite cold from the middle of the country into portions of southeast. a lot of heeating bills will ge quite pricey. >> looks like a chilly week ahead for the midwest and east. alex wallace from the weather channel, thank you. >>> you will not like the difference a year has made at the gas pumps. >>> what's in store for your money in the year ahead? the best bets for keeping your dollar safe. you're watching msnbc sunday. and when you have it, everything hur

our jacqui jeras hard at work at the cnn severe weather center in atlanta. you see she's checking on the conditions now. we will check with jacqui in just a few minutes. >>> first, we want to get to the terror threat now and some tough talk from president barack obama today. he is making a direct connection between the suspect in the christmas day terror attack on a u.s. airliner and al qaeda forces based in yemen. in his weekly remarks, mr. obama said the group al qaeda in the arabian peninsula has attacked u.s. targets before and the u.s., he vowed, is fighting back. >> so as president, i've made it a priority to strengthen our partnership with the yemeni government, training and equipping their security forces, sharing intelligence and working with them to strike al qaeda terrorists. even before christmas day, we had seen the results -- training camps had been struck, leaders eliminated, plots disrupted. and all of those involved in the attempted act of terrorism on christmas must know you, too, will be held into account. >> and something else to keep in

atlanta, 18 degrees. 18 degrees yesterday as well. 37 for the high. you're normally right around 52. it's slip and slide in atlanta. anything that looks wet is not wet. it's a solid sheet of ice there. by the way, the cold temperatures do stick around for a while. look at the 9 below in minneapolis to 45 in miami. it's just about everywhere. it's a reforcing shot of cold air later in the week. it's deep in the south so that cold air will hit just about every place. even where we think will be a deep south snowstorm. we're talking about that a lot. we're talking jackson, >> lot >> lots more weather in the new year, in this 4th of january. >> it's early. >> first week of january. >> first full week of january. and it is a new year. and it's time for to us officially welcome the newest members of our "gma" family. so we wanted you to get to know them a little bit better this week. >> come on, juju. >> what did you guys do, like rock, paper scissors. george goes first. we know you're a phenomenal journalist. we know about your political back ground. >> he

with us now arthur adala and drew fendling as well chilling down in atlanta. drew, where do you begin with this character? >> well, i think a good starting point is that this is being handled in the eastern district of michigan, detroit. i've litigated plenty of cases there. and you have to understand that post-9/11, there's not an area in the united states where both the federal defense and the prosecutors are handled more terrorism-related cases. so we're going to see a very literal bench and bar there. clearly that's the decision not even to try for bond because there is no chance at bond. they're gonna explore the issue of cooperation. i know some say there's no chance of it but let me tell you something, the federal system is based, shep, on cooperation. it is the only way you can move down in terms of what kind of sentence you can get and there's no doubt the government wants to know this individual's connection potentially to al-queda or another terrorism group. so they'll be working on that and his defense attorney no matter what he says in the public

he joins us from the cnn international headquarters in atlanta. reza, you actually heard from a protester tonight. >> yeah, don two, very interesting subjects items to share with you here at iran desk. first of all a new amateur video clap from the demonstrations last srt saturday. some of these are being posted online late because remember the iranian government has either blocked internet access or slowed it down to a crawl. in this video clip reportedly from last sunday you see protesters climb up a light post and rip down a banner that bears the picture of iran's supreme leader ayatollah khameini. these types of images unthinkable six months ago. now, rarely have we heard from the protesters in iran themselves because of the strict media crackdown and restrictions. but earlier on sunday we managed to tape-record a phone conversation with one of the protesters. we'll call him hessam to protect his identity. a 28-year-old university researcher who took part in last sunday's demonstrations. and he said he was attacked by security officers. we ask
