Welcome to cbs this morning. Good morning. Good morning to you, charlie. We begin with the weather. Flood waters are raging in colorado. Overnight thousands more in boulder evacuated their homes. Flash flood watches and warnings approached this morning as heavy rain continues to fall. Last night president obama approved federal disaster aid for the flooded area. Three are dead and 17 unaccounted for. Barry peterson is in boulder. Looking at Boulder Creek that runs through the heart of boulder. Its clear why they ordered the e vokuations. About 4,000 people chase out of their homes overnight. This is normally six feet lower than now. You can see its moving like an out of control freight train. Residents of rainsoaked boulder were ordered to evacuate after a 30foot surge of water rushed down Boulder Creek. The storm moved away and then did a uturn and came back for punch number two and hung on. They had never seen this match before. I have been here about 25 years. This is unimaginable to me. The boulders that tumbled down the mountain side. Homes and cars were no match for a storm so fast and furious it took even colorados governor by surprise. Im not sure anyone laid out a scenario where Boulder County and up the state got close to eight inches of rain in 24 hours. The problem is the creeks cant hold the water coming down. You can see from the debris its up over the bridge. What happens is the water falls through the streets and floods the neighborhood. They left their home on foot. Our gas is out and i suspect electricity could be out. A dangerous mix of water surrounded their home. Roads were impassible. Why are you even out some. The Fire Department came and pointed out that we were potentially in a dangerous situation. There were rocks. The rock formations above our house that could give way. Some mountain towns were isolated after roads were washed away and a brim that disappeared sent three vehicles into the water as they were about to rescue one driver, the water pushed the car deeper. In the end he was one lucky man. Almost everyone who saw natures force turn loose was glad to get away. This is unspeakable and going to get worse. Never seen anything like this. It could be a difficult day up and down this region. There several rivers that may be approaching. May even see flood stage. There could be more rain and flash flooding and all of that means there could be more people faced out of their homes. It will be a long day. We will be standing by. In boulder, thank you. New mexico is also being hit hard by flooding. Record rainfall sent waves of water over the southern part of the state. Five inches of rain fell in one area. Dozens were cleared out of an rv park. David bernard is watching all the dangerous weather in the west. Good morning. Good morning to you, nora. We have widespread flood advisories still in effect. For today, much of new mexico is under a flood watch and flood advisories and warnings around the denver area. Eastern colorado as well. Across portions of idaho, nevada and utah flood advisories for today. The upper level low is out west sending a deep southerly wind flow across the rockies and the southern plains. That monsoonal moisture is the culprit for all the heavy rainfall. The rainfall potential for colorado through tonight into tomorrow morning shows widespread to two inches even around the boulder area. That little rain could cause bigger problems as saturated as everything is. Also in new mexico rains south of albuquerque and locally two to five inches of rain in parts of the mountains. The flood threat remains high for colorado and new mexico. It looks like we will see improvement by the time we go to saturday. Back to you. Thanks. Firefighters are working on a fire that destroyed a massive stretch of the boardwalk along the new jersey shore. People in that area spent months rebuilding after super storm sandy. The flame break quickly after breaking out near a row of shops in sea side park. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Sea side park is a popular town here. Months after recovering from super storm sandy, this area was dealt another major blow and this time it was not water, but fire. When a fire destroyed the funtown building along the new jersey shore, there were plenty of witnesses. After all, they had plenty of time to gettinger. The fire started small around 2 15 in a Popular Ice Cream store. In no time it grew to this. Blocks of flame and smoke for miles. We have come here over 30 years. What a shame to see Something Like this happen. High winds, tar roofs and stretches of boardwalk have 400 area firefighters busy through the night. Do not come here. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie traveled there where at least 30 businesses were damaged or destroyed. This is obviously a just unthinkable situation for us to be standing here and watching this whats going on behind all of you. Its just unthinkable. Crews contained the fire by crushing sections of a new boardwalk that created a break, but for other new jersey residents, the damage done was too much and all too familiar. I said to my staff i feel like i want to throw up. Last year in area was devastated by super storm sandy. Images of the roller coaster pushed into the ocean was emblematic of the damage. They worked all winter to reopen for the summer. We were not even done rebuilding and its gone. Its heart breaking per a lot of people. We heard from a fire team who said there was nothing but four blocks of charred rubble here. It was the wind that caused that fire to spread so quickly and no word on a cause. Thank you. And new this morning, car bombs were used in an attack on the consulate in western afghanistan this morning. No americans were hurt and the area is now secure. Charley is in london. Good morning. Good morning. Colleagues and couples told us the attacks started at dawn in the taliban. The van packed with explosives outside the front gate. They were followed by an attack after six suicide bombers armed with rifles and grenades according to a local chief. All the attackers were killed in the firefight and the afghan army and security forces. The u. S. Safe Department Said forces were used to secure them and no one managed to breech it. I understand all personnel are safe in the conflict. At least two security guards were killed and several wounded. The latest attack comes two days after the 12th anniversary of 9 11 and the heart of the city is considered relatively safe showing how precarious it remains in afghanistan as troop numbers decrease ahead of full withdrawals next year. Thank you. Al qaeda leader is out with a new audio message posted yesterday, one day after the anniversary of 9 11 attacks. He calls for muslims to stage attacks and bleed financialed a. The assistant director good morning. What do you make of this . Its interesting because what he is saying is he wants lone wolf attacks. He wants followers of the al qaeda doctrine to kidnap westerners and trade them for al qaeda prisoners and wants lone wolf attacks against the american targets. He said that will bleed the economy. He is being looking at the Boston Marathon bombing and the terror attack is small, but it seems a profound effect it had on boston and he wants to see more of that. To me its that al qaeda is not in the position organizationally to do what it used to be. Launching the attack itself. I think he lacked the charisma of Osama Bin Laden and the messenger that fired most of the attacks including the boston am boing. I spent three or four days talking to him in a camp in afghanistan several years ago. Hes an egyptian pediatrician but his method hasnt resonated before. I want to ask you about a big story. The american intelligence officials believe a terrorist born in the u. S. Is dead. He was killed by his own leadership in somali. He was on the most wanted list and left the United States in 2006. What does the story mean . What was he doing over there and why did they kill him . Omar is a book unto himself. Hes the all american boy from alabama. The son of a syrian father and an americanborn mother. He played soccer and dated cheerleaders and played football. He was a regular kid from town drawn into the megsz messagesssages on the internet. Once the al qaeda affiliate said he is american he will be an interesting messenger, he made a rap video that is on you tube to inspire people to join. Overtime he had a falling out with the group. His father said he thought he was dead. We had several reports that he was dead. I cant put any more stock in this one except for the fact that none of the people that hear from him hear from him lately. Syria avoids detection. The wall street journal reports an elite military unit is moving the weapons to dozens of sites. The secretary of state john kerry said there have been constructively negotiations on controlling the chemical weapons. Margaret brennan is traveling with the secretary. Good morning. Good morning. Secretary kerry and his russian counterpart are meeting in that hotel behind me. They have teams of arms control experts and diplomats comparing intelligence on the size and the location of the arsenal. Kerry walked into the United Nations to meet the Un Special Envoy to syria. He is trying to negotiate peace in syria and help broker the transfer of the assad chemical regime chemical weapon. That is the mission here in geneva. We both agree that we had a constructivly conversation regarding that. Those conversations are conditioning and both of us want to get back to them now. We have to reach our professionals with the chemical weapons. The United Nations. The design which was to make sure this issue resolves quickly. The tone was softer when kerry gave him a warning not to use these talks as a stalling tactic. This is not a game. It has to be real. It has to be comprehensive. It has to be verifiable. It has to be credible. It has to be timely and implemented in a timely fashion. Behind the scenes arms control experts are holding intense talks about how to destroy the assad regimes arsenal in the midst of an active war zone. Progress is unclear but the sticking points are obvious. Kerry said if diplomacy fails, military forces still an option. The russians want that threat taken off the table. The u. S. Wants russia and syria to take concrete steps quickly and subject it to the request for 30 days to commit details on syrias stockpile. The meetings here are ongoing. We expect them to continue well into the weekend. Thank you. A little birthd told us that twitter is going public. They announce the filing of paperwork with the securities and exchange commission. Good morning. Good morning. We know we are having a facebook and timing is not perfect. Is this the right time for twitter . It looks good and the mood seems to have shifted a lot. There was a fallout from the facebook debut which was a disaster. The stock price fell by about half. The mood shifted and facebook hit a record high this week and came all the way back and then some. There is an attitude towards the company. Twitter is not facebook. Facebook has over a billion users and twitter about 200 million. How much is it worth . The estimates are between 10 and 15 billion . You have to look at the growth. They had 100 million active users and a year later was 200 million and estimates are 300 million. Its going very fast. They could prove if you had a local threat is that true for twitter as well. More and more people are running their lives from this. Any company that can take advantage of that and make ad revenue off of that will do really well. Thats the big question. A lot of promise in twitter. Can it deliver . Is. Anthony mason i follow you on twitter. I follow you on twitter. Flights are taking off and landing at bwi airport in maryland. There was a lightning strike. A bolt hit the air Traffic Control tower. One controller was shot and brought to his knees, but the airport closed for three hours causing thousands of persons to be delayed or stranded. We had to show you the headlines about united airlines. They accidentally offered free fares on thursday. Some quick customers bought tickets on line and only paid security fees that added the up to 5 or 10 a ticket. They are deciding whether to honor the tickets. The crimson reports on alleged Racial Discrimination by white sororities. They brought the story to light and said a woman considered an ideal candidate was rejected because she is black. Alabam ernor is urging the university toic ta a take a stand. Nasa is making history. The spacecraft is the first man made object to leave the solar system. The probe was 36 years ago only yesterday. If nasa confirms into space last year. High Pressure Holding on for at least another day as were getting ready for the weekend. Clouds have moved onshore. We have a lot of drizzle especially approaching the coastline. And the clouds are going to be slow to break up today. Still, well find plenty of sunshine in the afternoon. A weak ridge of High Pressure sitting overhead going to likely hold on for one more day and then that low off the coastline will cool us down on sunday. Temperatures in the 80s inland.
