commented on the potential pick. >> all of the people he's looking at are much better than her. these are people that were thinking about running. they would have run. >> reporter: the latest cbs news poll find harris and trump essentially tied across battleground states as well as nationally. the harris vp pick announcement will also come with a likely new campaign video before they show up in pennsylvania. you know who else is going to be in pennsylvania today, former president donald trump's running mate jd vance. both will carve a path. back to you. >> jarred hill in new york, thank you. now to debby, which may weaken to a tropical storm, but is still packing a powerful punch, slamming much of the southeast with historic rainfall and catastrophic flooding. at least five deaths are being blamed on the storm so far, one in georgia and four in florida, including a 13-year-old boy. states of emergency have been declared in florida, georgia, and south carolina.

cbs's tom hanson kicks off our team coverage from florida's west coast. >> reporter: when hurricane debby roared ashore in horseshoe beach with 80-mile-an-hour winds, jim and sally johnson were bracing for the worst. >> the water was between here to here. >> reporter: in a matter of hours, the home where they plan to retire was slammed by storm surge. >> the house was shaking like we were in a plane in turbulence throughout most of the storm. >> reporter: it's the second time in less than a year this tiny fishing village has been hit by hurricanes. a one-two punch from idalia and now debby. >> we just did not expect this again, you know. it just -- we're just shaking our heads over it. >> it's sad, but we have a saying here. it's called horseshoe strong, and we help each other.

>> reporter: much of the town is barricaded off so crews can clear the roads to allow residents back in. those who stayed will be sitting in the dark without electricity. governor ron desantis says the state is sending 4,500 national guard. >> they've completed 3500. they're in the process of completing another 400 more. >> reporter: debby's next stop is georgia. i'm cristian benavides in savannah, georgia, which is already under a state of emergency. the storm is hours away. the storm is expected to dump historic levels of rainfall, up to 30 inches. >> 55 years. >> you've lived here your whole life. >> my whole entire life. >> have you ever gotten sandbags for a storm? >> no, this is my first time.

fell in florida, but it is the low country of south carolina that i'm most concerned about. take a look at the potential track of this storm. it goes off the coast. it's barely moving for the next two days, and then it begins to take off to the north. how much additional rain on top of what we've already seen? the area in white is a foot of rain, the area in black is a foot and a half. we're not only concerned about the lower country but up to the middle sections of the state. not only up the coast but into the mid-atlantic as well. the pentagon now says several u.s. personnel were injured in a suspected rocket attack at a military base in iraq. officials tell cbs news it appears two rockets were fired at the al asad air base yesterday. the injured are expected to survive. no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. and the attack comes amid growing fears of an all-out war

hezbollah, lebanon, iran from the east, the houthis in western yemen from the south, hamas in both gaza and the west bank. so israel will be encircled. >> and where does america sit in all of this, and what should they be doing? >> the last thing america wants is a scenario where they're dragged into the conflict. >> reporter: u.s. general michael kirill will helped coordinate the attack in april when more than 300 missiles and drones were fired and was back here meeting with israel's defense minister. the u.s. still believes the best way to prevent this from spiralling out of control is a cease-fire in gaza. in weekend protests, families and friends of hostages accused prime minister benjamin netanyahu of choosing escalation over a deal. as the world's attention is focused on iran, in gaza, they

count their dead every day. the remains of more than 80 palestinians were returned today after israel took some of the bodies to check if any of the hostages were among them. these are the nameless dead waiting for loved ones to claim them. debora patta, cbs news. coming up this hour, new details in the sonya massey killing. why a former deputy now says he opened fire. and crash course. the wild scene on a golf course and the bystander lucky to walk away. away.
