They say the boat may have been in a rocky area thats home to a sea lion colony. Theres, at any given time, a few hundred animals sitting on the rocks there. And its a daily routine for those boats to go in there and view those sea lions, so im guessing, you know, it hit a rock or something mustve happened.

Witnesses say the ground shook for about 45 seconds. The tremor was felt as far as northern india. This morning the latest cbs news Battleground Tracker poll Shows Hillary clinton ahead of Bernie Sanders ain iowa and new hampshire. And clinton is getting a boost from joe biden supporters who say the former secretary of state is their second choice. The Vice President appeared on 60 minutes sunday in his first interview since announcing he would not seek the democratic nomination. We have part of our interview that didnt air last night. Biden revealed the advice he received from his son beau before he died of brain cancer and talked about whether he could have beaten Hillary Clinton. So you think if you ran you could have won . I think if i had the time, i would have been competitive. I cant guarantee i would have run, but i believe you would have been competitive and could have bonn the nomination. Was it too late to raise the money . No. What was too late, norah, i had pledges from serious, serious people. And a lot of its been reported in the press, but it takes time to do it. The one thing i did put pencil and paper on is to hire all the people, and we had some of the best people in the country, the very people who put together our digital operation, a lot of very significant people prepared to help, but it just takes time to raise the money and put it in place. You didnt look at the polls and say, wow, im still really far behind Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders . No, i looked at the polls and on every poll i beat every republican. The only one to beat every republican all the time, almost all the time. I dont think they matter much now. I looked at the polls and all of the things that related to me were very positive in terms of my character to popularity to substance. Again, they dont mean that much that early. Theres nothing i looked at in the polls and said, thats a problem. I know you talked to yourson, beau, about running for president. What did he want you to do . The first thing i would like to do, and you are being very polite the way youre asking me the question, because some people have written that beau on his death bed said, dad, youve got to run, and there was this sort of hollywood moment. But nothing like this ever, ever happened. Beau all along thought that i should run and i could win. But there was not, when it is sort of made out at this hollywoodesque thing and beau grabbed my hand and said, dad, youve got to run. It wasnt anything like that. But he didnt ever say to you, dad, you know, i know im sick, but i want you to do whats been your dream . There wasnt a point where we had a conversation or beau said, dad, i know im sick but i dont want you to put it on hold. I tell you what may have confused people, it was in late october, the october before he passed away in may, and jill and i, we always went home because we wanted to spend as much time with him as we could. We went to his house for dinner. And he said, dad, halle and i are worried about you. And i looked at him, hes the one here sick, and he said, dad, no matter what happens, im going to be okay. I know no one loves me more than you, dad, so youve got to promise me, look at me, promise me youll be okay. What he was saying was, i have a job to take care of the family. It wasnt, dad, promise me youre going to run. So when i told that story at a funeral, and i told it to other friends because it was always about somebody else with beau, and what a beautiful son. And i think what people understandably thought was, dad, dont not run because im ill. Dad, youve got to go do it. As a matter of fact, it was the almost the opposite at that point. It was almost, dad, youve got to stay strong because the familys going to look to you, dad. So you see theres more context to this. And i think what happened was beau was sick for much longer than anybody knew. Before and quite frankly, the details still are not public, its a private family matter, but the Vice President said in october he was sick fora while. So there had been a long running conversation about this. The Vice President had talked about publicly at a funeral what that was. Then it got translated into it was a dying wish from beau. Then that got translated into a deathbed wish from beau. And i think here the Vice President wanted to say it was something a bit different. The Vice President was saying that beau said to him, you have to take care of yourself, im worried about you. We have much more. And at 7 30, were going to hear more of the 60 minutes interview you didnt see last night. Biden tells the full story of raiding Osama Bin Ladens hiding place. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. The Battleground Tracker from cbs finds the republican race in iowa is a dead heat. Ben carson and donald trump are tied with 27 . But trump holds a large lead in South Carolina and new hampshire. Nancy cordes is in washington tracking the fight for the gop nomination. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. This is the third poll to show carson tied or leading in iowa. And our Battleground Tracker also found that 56 of Republican Voters who dont back trump in iowa would be dissatisfied if he got the nomination. A sign of how polarizing his candidacy continues to be. We got another example this weekend when he questioned ben carsons religion. Im presbyterian, can you believe it . Nobody believes im presbyterian. Reporter trump wasnt asked about carsons faith in jacksonville, he just brought it up. Seventh dayed a eventtist i dont know about. Reporter carson called for trump to apologize. On face the nation trump said there was nothing to apologize for. That was not meant to be an insult, obviously, it is just that i dont know about it. Okay. So an expression of ignorance, not raising questions about it. Well, thats a harsh way of putting it, but perhaps i could say it that way, yes. Reporter it was not the only sign that the new iowa frontrunner has gotten under trumps skin. I dont think carson will negotiate well with china. Ive had a great relationship with christianity, and frankly, i would say every bit as good as his. Ben carson is super low energy, right . Reporter dr. Carsons response im not sure theres anybody else running that has spent 18 to 20 hours intently operating on somebody. Reporter jeb bushs campaign was forced to make comebacks sounding like he wants out. Ive got a lot of really cool things i can do other than sit around being miserable listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. Reporter bushs team insists hes not going anywhere. He traveled to houston this weekend to strategize with his family and with donors, but even that didnt escape trumps notice who accused bush of running home to mommy and daddy. Nancy, thank you. Millions in the south are bracing for more devastating weather this morning. What is left of Hurricane Patricia already dumped more than seven inches of rain in parts of louisiana and mississippi. Many gulf coast states are under a flood warning. David is in biloxi this morning where it is pouring. Reporter good morning. We have been following this storm since friday night where we started in texas. Saturday it dumped a massive amount of rain. Last night we headed for louisiana. Here in new orleans last night a man died after losing control of his sports car in floodwaters. And now the wind has really picked up as this weather system continues to head east. Overnight powerful storms battered the gulf coast. In baton rouge, louisiana, 8 1 2 inches of rain lashed the capital city sunday. More than a thousand people lost power in their homes as the remnants of Hurricane Patricia continued to move across the south. So far texas has seen the worst of the flooding. Over the Weekend Record amounts of rainfall in several cities left cars submerged. Their drivers stranded and prompted dozens of water rescues. In houston we saw this man staring at his stranded sedan. It was stuck for more than nine hours. Doug said when he drove under the overpass, there were no barricades to stop him and he couldnt see floodwater in the righthand lane. He hit water and his car moved left, it stalled so he got out to abandon it. At midnight the water was near the tire level. By 4 00 a. M. It was nearly submerged. 18 inches of rain fell in corsicana, texas. I just kicked the window in. Reporter their emergency crews spotted this pickup truck nearly submerged. Inside they rescued an 80yearold man and his dog trapped by quickly rising water. So heres what today is shaping up to look like. Cities like mobile, birmingham, pensacola are under the threat of flash flooding. We are talking nearly 2 Million People along the gulf coast. Wow. Incredible reporting. David, thank you so much. The woman accused of plowing into a crowd at the Oklahoma State University Homecoming parade is scheduled to make her First Court Appearance today. Adasha chambers faces dui charges for saturdays crash that killed four people and hurt dozens more. Last night hundreds of people gathered at a campus memorial for the victims. We are in stillwater, oklahoma, with video of the crash that some viewers may find difficult to watch. Adrianna, good morning. Reporter good morning. Witnesses say the woman came in from this direction and hit a Police Barricade before reaching this intersection full of people. Her car crashed into this poll which has now been turned into a memorial. Her attorney told us last night he believes mental illness, not intoxication, may have been the cause. Graphic cell phone video shows adashas vehicle crashing into the crowd hitting dozens of spectators in broad daylight. Were going to need a bunch of help. Bam. They didnt know what hit them. Just mowed them down like cattle. It was organized chaos. Reporter von caster was on site moments after saturday mornings crash. And you saw the scene and bodies on the ground. Yeah, it was horrible. This was not a natural disaster. This was a manmade attack. Reporter the collision killed four people. 2yearold nash lucas, 23yearold nakita prabhakar. 65yearold martin stone and his wife bonnie, also 65. Combined, the married couple spent six decades working at Oklahoma State university. 46 others were injured. The cars driver, 25yearold adasha chambers, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. Shes a sick individual. Reporter but her attorney tony coleman says men call illness, not alcohol and drugs, may have been a factor. Has she been remorseful . Thats an area that caused concern. It seems like theres an inability to be remorseful right now. When i spoke with her father and her grandmother, that is absolutely not the person that they know. Reporter osu sophomore kaley carly suffered an arm injury. It is a really big deal. And just to have Something Like this happen is very tragic. Reporter chambers blood is being tested for drugs and alcohol. Later today shell be charged with four counts of seconddegree murder. Adriana, thanks. Dramatic new video takes us inside the deadly kurdish raid on an isis prison in iraq. The helmet cam video shows the Daring Mission from a Soldiers Point of view. The firefight here is elizabeth with more. Good morning. Of course, it is very unusual to get a glimpse of the special forces operation as it unfolds, but most of the kurdish government and the pentagon verified these pictures are genuine. The video captured on a helmet camera starts midway through last thursdays predawn raid. These prisoners emerge one by one from their cells to be padded down by special forces, but you can clearly hear the american backup. Theres a glimpse of a huge isis flag in what was the house of a local tribal leader but now converted into a jail. Next we see the prisoners bolting barefoot and terrified from the building. The shooting never stopped. As both kurds and American Special forces battle isis fighters whose fierce resistance for the initial attack killed Sergeant Joshua wheeler. 69 prisoners were freed but they are not the ones the kurds expected to find. They hoped they were coming to the rescue of 20 of their own fighters who were captured in battle and displayed in cages by isis in february. As soon as the special forces had left the compound, a Coalition Air strike destroyed it. Video posted by isis shows the wreckage and the casualties of a ferocious battle. In all, say the kurds, isis lost 20 men. On top of those 69 prisoners, the raid also netted six live isis fighters. Of course, they are going to be very good and an important source of information to help the u. S. And the kurds understand better how the group operates. Norah . Elizabeth palmer in iraq, thank you.
