It was another night of heavy rain and thunderstorms in Southeast Texas. The latest as crews continue to search the austin area for two people who were swept away during fridays flash flooding. In the meantime a tornado watch is posted for Southeast Texas this morning with isolated wind gusts set to clock in at 70 miles per hour. Lets get the latest in austin. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Two people are dead and two storms beat down south and central texas. Residents of this austin neighborhood only had a few minutes to evacuate as raging waters began flooding the streets. Theresa managed to grab her three dogs before leaving. Oh my goodness. A little overwhelming to have the Police Coming down your street ordering you out of o your house. Brother and sister john and tara jones went into that you are housetheir house to get their kids and pets as the waters crept closer to their doorstep. What are you going to do tonight . Im not sure. Were going to call friends and find a place to go. Outside austin, officials called in armored trucks to evacuate students from an elementary school. Just outside san antonio, heavy winds ripped a roof off this high school and homes in the area. Many of them crushed. The same strong gusts damaged century old brick buildings and tossed this tractortrailer on top of a hotel. The Fire Department building is damaged and as you can see behind us the old joe house is completely gone. Terrifying is what it was. The storm damaged several homes in the town ofin texas. Thank god for being alive. And one man shot this video after calling for help while still trapped in his car swept away by flood waters. As you can see im floating down some sort of creek. Many residents in this neighborhood didnt spend the night here last night. They evacuated because the water was halfway up to that street sign and already leaking inside some of the homes. When the sun comes up, that is when clean up will start. Anthony . Omar, thank you. American boots will soon be on the ground in syria. President obama has ordered about 50 u. S. Special operations troops to northern syria. To aid kurdish units and others battling the isis terror army. Obama previously said he would not send u. S. Ground troops to syria. And they will not be serving as front line combat trups, but quote, there is no denying the serious risk they will be facing. American special fours will send up to sixty days at time in the headquarters of u. S. Backed fighters in fighters in the future. Their mission torques coordinate a drive with the help of american air strikes. The number of jets flying strikes will quadruple from just six a few weeks ago to 24. We want to be prosecuting as many isis targets as possible in syria, the pentagon officials said. American and allied jets have been bombing raqqa for months. Earlier this year a jordanian pilot had to bail out over raqqa. He was captured by isis and burned alive. But as Lieutenant Colonel said earlier this month. A lot of time and fuel is wasted flying those strikes from bases 1 i,000 miles away. 2 and a half to three hour transit time. That could be spent on station. With more planes spending more time over syria and with some u. S. Backed fighters already within 30 miles of raqqa, isis could be forced to pull back fighters from the front lines in iraq to defend their capital. We can put pressure on them there. Strike them there. Create fear which makes them withdraw forces potentially from mosul and ramdy. Pentagon Officials Say it could take up to a month for forces to reach syria. And would not rule out more to follow. This is a start to gauge whats possible. For cbs this Morning Saturday this is david martin at the pentagon. Now to politics and the republican parts decision to drop a president ial debate nbc was scheduled to host in february. The party was angry over the way they handled wednesday nights republican debate. Good morning chris. Good morning. As the rare moment of agreement months those in the gop race for the white house. Wednesday nights debate did not go well. The Republican NationalCommittee Says cnbc conducted it in, quote, bad faith. So the party is suspending its partnership for the february 26 debate at the university of houston. This is not a cage match. Days later republican president ial candidates are still criticizing the last gop debate. The questions were kind of stupid. They werent about the things that people worry about around the kitchen table. The questions were so nasty. You would think in a debate with cnbc they would talk about things like the economy. Reporter and the Republican National committee isnt happy either. Sending this tosaying we cant continue with our conversation and called the questions inaccurate and offensive. The fall out is sparking rare agreement from candidates, calling for a new debate format. I want the candidates to have more input into how it is done. Because the purpose of the debate is to allow the voters to actually see what you think. Considering this is a republican primary debate it would be helpful to have a balanced set of moderators. Nbc called the moderators action a Disappointing Development but said the network will work to recough the matter with the republican party. Solve the matter with the republican party. Joining us now for a closer look at the president ial campaign is Washington Post politics writer phillip bump. Good morning. Lets start first with the decision from interest rnc to suspend its partnership. Is this something that needs to be looked at very seriously in terms of what role they play in this debate and these candidates because there are so many . Yeah i think part it is important to remember that the rnc wanted a tighter hold on the debates from 2012. So rnc stepped . And said okay. And part of what happened this week is the candidates were frustrated with the rnc as well. At nbc to redirect candidates anger. But yes. Over the course of the three debates there were definitely questions that embarrassed a lot of the candidates and candidates never want to have to answer hard questions. Senator rubio is one who complained about the questions but generally seemed to have handled them pretty well and handled jeb bush pretty well. Is he now looking like the preferred establishment candidate . Im not sure i go that far yet. Jeb bush is a bush. A lot of connections and fundraising right off the bat. Rubio had a good quarter. And jeb bush is looking as though he is start stog stumble a little bit. Ty need someone who can be the non trump non carson candidate that can carry their water. If bush isnt going to be it rubio has a good second choice. Im not sure they are naturally marco rubio supporters. I think ted cruz will benefit. Which i think is starting to happen. In the meantime you are seeing problems within the bush campaign. As chief operating officer has left. Fundraising concerns among his donors. How much trouble is the campaign at this point . A lot oaf trouble. The chief operating officer was making 12,000 a month. To try to cut costs that is important to cut wherever you can. I think jeb bush is going to hope the poll numbers havent fallen too much after that debate. He didnt do well during the debate. If the poll numbers remain steady i think hell be able to hold on for a while. New speaker of the house. Paul ryan. What do you think hell be able to accomplish . He talked about bringing people together. He wants to start on a fresh clean slate. Whether doeswhat does this look like down the line . The thing to keep in mind is why john bayner is not because he was fighting with democrats but because he was fighting with the republicans. Paul ryan is now the establishment. Im not sure hes going to be able to get them in line any better than john boehner could. We talked to paul ryan this week. Lets see what he had to say. Do you see this job as the leader where you say here is where were going and everybody follows . Or are you more a facilitator. I was not elected dictator of the house. I was elected speaker of the house. And that means we do it in a bottom up approach. We reach consensus. As republicans we have common principles principles. We need to take those and apply them to the problems of the day through consensus to show the country a better way forward. And it is my job to lead to that consensus but not to dictate that consensus. Ryan wouldnt run unless he had the full support. How strong is that support at this point, how long do you think he can count on it. He didnt even get the full support he wanted before he came speak. He was sayic look we control the house and senate. This is a chance to do lets work together. I think its optimistic. Phillip, thanks so much for being here this morning. And you can see more of the interview tomorrow on cbs. His other guests will include florida senator marco rubio and representative steny hoyer. The blimp that broke loose from its home in maryland before traveling 150 miles. Retrieving and the army set up a hot line to report damages caused by the blimp.

But if you start thinking about the iranians and the North Koreans and groups like isis, they are all developing the same kind of capability. And they wouldnt be restrained in the same way that the chinese and russians. It is not a question of if but when, that were not prepared. It was very frightening to me how little prepared we are. What scares me, gayle is the fact that people in government, secretary of defense spoke about his cyber pearl harbor. The president twice in the state of the union has warned about this kind of thing happening. When you ask however what the governments preparations are for the public in the event that Something Like this were to transpire and we would be potentially tens of millions of months at a time. Dont do it urgently . What im saying is there is no plan. There is no plan for hurricanes. There are plans for snow storms there are plans for earthquakes. There is no plan for a cyber attack that would be infinitely longer in duration and more wide spread than any of those natural disasters. You went and interviewed director of homeland security.
