The remains of a super high fan are about to hit remote parts of western alaska. That storm will affect nearly 250 million americans in the weeks to come. Typhoon nuri was one of the most powerful of the year. Scientists say its about to disrupt the jet stream. That means extremely cold air for the rest of the country. Dean reynolds is in chicago where it will be below freezing by next week. Dean, good morning. Reporter good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. Well, the coast guard is ready for nuri which is expected to hit the Aleutian Islands in western alaska later today, but the repercussions of the storm will likely trigger a polar vortex all the way over here in chicago and the rest of the nation in the coming days. When a storm this size threatening to deliver high winds and 50foot waves blankets the bering sea, even those in weatherbeaten alaska take notice. This storm is forecast to be the most severe storm that weve seen this season. We do have helicopter crews on standby. Reporter its not the strong winds and choppy seas millions of americans are worried about. Its the frigid air that may blanket the country as a result. Nuri is so powerful, its rattling the jet stream, releasing a wave of bitter cold from the midwest to the northeast. The threat of a drastic temperature drop conjures painful memories of the polar vortex when millions of americans slid, scraped, and shivered their way through a seemingly endless winter. The wind is disrespecting the jacket i got on right now. Its very cold out here. Reporter parts of Niagara Falls froze over and parts of chicago received 80 inches of snow. Even though winter doesnt start for another 44 days the Sanitation Department here in chicago is preparing as if its just around the corner. Reporter have you ordered salt . Yes, we have. Reporter how much . Well be starting the season with 400 tons on the ground. Were certainly going to be ready for winter. Reporter now, the really cold air is expected to hit in the next few days and states east of the rockies will experience temperatures 10 to 30 degrees below normal for this time of year. Dean, thanks. Cbs news contributor michio kaku is with us. Hes a physics professor at the City University of new york. Good morning. Morning. Tell us exactly what this is. Well, superstorm nuri packs more energy than hurricane sandy. Its headed this way and were in the bullseye. This weekend, its going to plow into alaska, creating 50foot waves, and by midweek all hell breaks loose. Its going to collide with the jet streak pushing arctic air all the way down perhaps as low as florida. Now, remember the polar vortex of last year . Yes. This is different. Theres a name for this. Its called bombogenesis. Thats geektalk for when pressure suddenly drops. When you have hot air, cold air colliding, like what were going to see over canada and the american midwest. Plunging temperatures perhaps 30 degrees below normal. Wow. So what are the best and worst Case Scenarios . The best Case Scenario it simply means take out your rubber boots mufflers, and hunker down. In the worst Case Scenario it could mean a deep freeze. It could mean Airlines Canceling Flights left and right, transportation being disrupted, train schedules being disrupted, peoples schedules being thrown a kilter. Were talking massive disruption with a massive peak around november 15th through november 30th and ripple through november. How long is it going to last . You said through the rest of the month, the end of december . Well it peak midweek next week. So expect several days of pretty miserable weather. But then ripples. Ripples will probably be with us for the end of the month. Does that mean our winters going tore horrific and we should just hide now . It means were going have another episode of the polar vortex. And, you know, get used to it because the earth is changing. And it means on average were going to see more violent swings. All right. Professor kaku with the bombogenesis. Did i say that right . Nicely done. Thank you. All right. We know almost everything about the raid that found Osama Bin Laden except the names of the men would carried it out. Well, one of them is going public this morning. Montana native Robert Oneill says he killed the terror leader. Now he faces strong criticism for identifying himself. Margaret brennan is here with the story that launched a new secrecy mission. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. Every one of the navy s. E. A. L. S involved in the bin laden raid were sworn to secrecy. The details of their operation were considered classified information. The oscarwinning film zero dark 30 was hollywoods version of the 2011 raid that killed the worlds most wanted man, Osama Bin Laden. In real life the operation was the work of s. E. A. L. Team 6 whose identities were top secret, known only by those at the very top. But a former s. E. A. L. Who claims to have fired the fatal shot has now decided to go public. Im not telling any secrets, im not breaking any rules. Reporter 38yearold Robert Oneill served in iraq and afghanistan. Now he shares those war stories as a motivational speaker. According to the Washington Post he decided to tell his account after meeting with families who had lost loved ones in the 9 11 attacks. The families told me, oneill said, it helped bring them some closure. But oneills decision has drawn scorn from some members of the military. Former captain Jerry Hendricks served in the navy for 26 years. They are dissuaded, instructed from the beginning of their training that we do not talk. Reporter oneill is not the only one to give a firsthand account. A fellow s. E. A. L. Published a book about the raid under pseudonym mark owen and gave his interview to scott pelley for 60 minutes. Its not about one important, its about the team the intel folks that teed this whole thing up. Reporter there may now be legal consequences for both former s. E. A. L. S. Top officers at the Naval Special warfare command recently penned a letter to other team members with a clear message. Quit talking. We do not abide willful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety and financial gain. Theres a genuine concern that theyre going to so reveal some of their activities that it will decrease the effectiveness of the s. E. A. L. S and, two, set them back so that theyll have to go out and create new tactics and techniques in order to be effective for the future. But the s. E. A. L. S who risked their lives on that raid seem to be the only ones not allowed to talk about it. Both former secretaries gates and panetta published books that included details of killing bin laden. Oneil claims he pulled the trigger but left the military after 16 years of service with no pension or benefits. All right, margaret, thanks. This morning the white house confirms president obama sent a letter to irans Supreme Leader but disputes it was about fighting isis. He told ayatollah ali khamenei. To scrap the countrys Nuclear Weapons program. Also raising the possibility of a joint operation against isis if the nuclear deal is achieved. The deadline is november 24th. Secretary of state john kerry will meet with irans foreign minister on sunday. The United States this morning believes it has taken out a major terrorist threat in syria. Air strikes probably killed a key bomb maker linked to al qaeda. It was part of attacks targeting members of the khorasan group. Some intelligence officials believe it poses a greater threat to the United States than isis. Bob orr is in washington with the significance of this attack. Bob, good morning. Good morning. These air strikes certainly appear to be a significant blow against a very dangerous terrorist cell and may have disrupted plots ongoing against europe and the homeland. U. S. Aircraft have taken out some of khorasans bomb making facilities and very likely one of their most lethal operatives. The target was this man, 24yearold david drugeon. A convert to islam, believed to be one of the top bomb makers. Officials believe drugeon was riding in this car wednesday when it was destroyed by u. S. Missiles fired by a reaper drone. While officials have no conclusive proof such as dna that drugeon is dead they say the air strikes were successful in taking out the intended targets. In a statement, the u. S. Central command said, quote, were still assessing the outcome of the attack, but we have initial indications that it resulted in the intended effects by striking terrorists. The drone strike was part of a larger assault against drugeons Al Qaedalinked terror cell the khorasan group. B1 bombers and f16 aircraft destroyed a number of buildings in northwest syria believed to house the groups bomb making and terrortraining facilities. Comprised of hardcore al qaeda veterans khorasan has been exploiting the lawlessness of syria to develop hardtodetect nonmetallic bombs, explosive devices that can be smuggled aboard airliners, hidden in shoes, clothing, cell phones, and even human bodies. In recent months, u. S. Intelligence has suggested that khorasan was inching closer to launching attacks on targets in both europe and the United States. In response, security on u. S. Bound International Flights has been tightened. Now, wednesdays air strikes marks the second time the u. S. Has attacked khorasan inside syria since september. Although Officials Say this wave resulted in considerably more damage than the first, they also warned it would be naive at this point to think that the khorasan threat has been entirely eliminated. Norah . Bob, thank you so much. Today, a meeting with president in the white house. Theyll get a briefing on the fighting and ebola in west africa. Theyll discuss how the president can work with the newly elected congress. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where the republicans are creating a game plan for the next two years. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. And good morning to our viewers in the west. That meeting at the white house takes place at 9 30 a. M. Pacific. And republicans will be going into it with a hand that has been strengthened. They picked up at least 12 seats in the house on tuesday night, giving them their largest majority in that body since the truman era. Just because we may not be able to get everything we want doesnt mean we shouldnt try to get what we can. Reporter House Speaker john boehner laid out an aggressive agenda for his expanded majority. We can act on the keystone pipeline. Restore the 40hour workweek gutted by obamacare. Reporter on immigration, the speaker acknowledged its time for congress to act and warned president obama not to try to fix the problem on his own. I believe that if the president continues to act on his own, hes going to poison the well. When you play with matches, you take the risk of burning yourself. Reporter White House Press secretary josh earnest said the president will move forward, though he welcomed the new legislation. Its been shoveled. Theres a republican majority in the senate, theres a republican majority in the house, and you can understand how it might change the political plans. Reporter the Senate Passed Immigration Reform last year but it stalled in the house. You tried to act in the last congress and your conservative members yanked you back no, no no no how can you work with the president on an issue like this . Again, i would argue with the premise of the question. What held us back last year was a flood of kids coming to the border because of the actions that the president had already taken. Reporter but even before that border crisis, republicans were divided over reform. I could regale you with all of my challenges of trying to get members of both side of the aisle to deal with it. They were numerous. But hope springs eternal. Conservative members worry that reform could lead to more rights for people who came to this country illegally. And tuesdays election only added more gop members who are to speaker boehners right on this and other issues. Sharyn . All right. Thanks, nancy. This morning the u. S. Supreme court faces new pressure to take up the issue of same sex marriage. Yesterday, a federal Appeals Court in ohio allowed four states, ohio michigan kentucky and tennessee, to continue bans on same sex marriage. That goes against a string of court rulings. Those judgments led to samesex marriages being allowed in 32 states including washington, d. C. Gay rights advocates will now ask the Supreme Court to weigh in. A terrifying Emergency Landing left three people hurt in edmonton, alberta. Air canada flight 8481 blew a tire when taking off last night from calgary. Sparks flew as it landed at edmonton international. One passenger thought the plane was going to blow up. 75 people were on board. And the smallest person on the field dominated last nights browns bengals game in cincinnati. That was 4yearold leah still. She took a break from her Cancer Treatment to watch her father play in the nfl for the First Time Since her diagnosis. Jim axelrod is at Paul Brown Stadium where last nights game was played. Jim, good morning. Reporter good morning. The browns and the bengals may have squared off on thursday night football but there was only one star. The loudest cheers of the night belonged to a 4yearold girl whos become everyones child here in cincinnati. On the field is leah still. Reporter by the time they held the ceremony to honor leah still, at the end of the first quarter, the 4yearold had been in cincinnati for 24 hours. Hi, daddy. Reporter long enough for a Pregame Tea Party with her father, bengals defensive tackle, devon still, long enough to hang out with the bengals cheerleaders, long enough for her to own the place. Thank you for my toys. Reporter leah, of course, is fighting cancer, stage 4 neuroblastoma to be exact, and shes captured a lot of hearts in the process. Well, she and her dad to be precise. Devon still is not just a professional football player. Hes a model for all dads who have to summon strength for their kids. Are you ready to get this cancer up out you . Lets do it. Fist bump. Reporter the bengals have been a strong support for the stills, signing devon to the practice squad after being cut from Training Camp so he can keep his Health Insurance and then selling replicas of his 75 jersey, 15,000 of them, with the money going to pediatric cancer. Were thrilled to present a check to aid in the fight against pediatric cancer. Reporter last night leah was on hand to receive a check for cincinnatis childrens hospital. Thank you leah and devin for inspiring all of us. Reporter 65,000 people stood and cheered leah. It was the very First Time Since her diagnosis she watched her dad play in an nfl game. I didnt know she had this in her. You know, you never think that your child will face a battle like this, but the strength that my daughter has shown me, the courage that shes shown me is nothing short of inspirational. Reporter leahs tumor was removed six weeks ago. Doctors put her chances of beating the cancer at 50 50. She actually starts her radiation in philadelphia on tuesday and her father will fly there with her tomorrow. Norah. Jim, great story, thank you so much for being there. Love leah. Leah strong. Were pulling for he. We should all get 75 jerseys. Thats my new favorite player right there. My new favorite player indeed. It is 7 19.
