this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning norah. >> good morning to you charlie. >> we begin with the weather. a powerful storm system is moving from the deep south to the east coast. the biggest threat shifted from tornadoes to flooding. the gulf coast is especially hardest hit this morning. >> pensacola, florida saw more than a foot of rain in 24 hours. we go to our affiliate wkrg and they say mobile is also seeing flooding this morning. >> more than a foot of rain sweat through the area. the system intensified quickly. people became trapped in their cars and homes and needed to be rescued. the floodwaters made it difficult for emergency crews to move but firefighters still managed to save this woman after her car became submerged.

it was a similar picture, 60 miles away in pensacola, florida, where the powerful system brought a nonstop roll of thunder and lightning. thousands were left without power. authorities were forced to shut down a major interstate connecting mobile and pensacola after roads became impassable. cards were abandoned as parking lots filled with water. now 1.5 inches of rain fell in just 45 minutes, bringing this city to a standstill. i'm blake brown, mobile alabama. >> the severe storm threat extends from the gulf coast to north carolina. tornado warnings were posted near durham this morning. at least four tornadoes hit the state yesterday. anna westernrner is looking at damage in steadman north carolina.

>> reporter: fortunately the damage here is limited to just a few homes. the volatility of the storms however, meant anyone affected by that severe weather had to worry about the worst happening, a tornado that strikes out of nowhere. >> just touching down. it's touching down. >> reporter: amateur video captured this twister as it moved through the town of steadman, tuesday. >> i got in the closet at the other end and covered my head. and then i heard it swerving over the roof. and the trailer began to shake. >> reporter: the storm toppled trees and ripped off roofs at this mobile home park where north carolina governor pat mccrory toured the damage. >> these tornadoes this week seem to be hitting and then jumping over many miles and hitting back down. our biggest concern, as i said earlier, is the mobile homes. >> crews worked to clear the debris, but it wasn't long

before more severe weather swept in, unleashing heavy rain wind and some golf ball-sized hail. the rain quickly turned roadways into rivers. drivers did l best to maneuver through rising waters, but this car needed a push. others were forced to abandon their vehicles altogether. >> water level here a good three feet in the house. >> reporter: this was llewellyn's car. >> can't sell the house to someone who doesn't want an indoor pool. >> reporter: there's another ruined of storms predicted to come through here today. the wind is already picking up and people are hoping that they don't see a repeat of last night. nora? >> indeed anna. thank you. and so far 35 deaths are blamed on this week's tornadoes. in arkansas the governor visited little rock suburbs yesterday, where more than a dozen people were killed sunday. searchers in louisville

mississippi are still looking for a missing 8-year-old boy. his parents died in monday's tornadoes. the mayor of louisville says "we will overcome this." >> the threat of flooding reaches all the way to the northeast. meteorologist megan glaros is tracking the threat. >> the risk for severe weather extending anywhere from maryland all the way down to north florida, still the possibility of tornadoes hail and damaging winds. look at the eastern half of the country, all the heavy rain potential from the panhandle all the way into new england. but in the west it's essentially dry here and very hot. we're looking at a heat wave with los angeles topping out at 97 degree 87 for san francisco, we'll see the 80s all the way up into the pacific northwest.

>> there is no public reaction yet from donald sterling after one of the toughest punishments in nba history. the commissioner banned him for life. >> the commissioner said they confirmed his voice on the recording full of racist remarks. carter, good morning. >> reporter: it took nba commissioner adam silver just three days to investigate the offensive remarks made by donald sterling and to take action. the response from the clippers was a simple statement that said, "now the healing begins." we are one! >> reporter: with the crowd indonesia them a reinvigorated clippers team cruised to a 10-point victory on the court tuesday night, but it was an earlier victory off the court that cleared the way. >> it's been very emotional, you know, the crowd support, the fan support has been amazing. adam silva was brilliant today. >> reporter: nba commissioner

adam silver slapped clippers owner donald sterling with a lifetime ban from the league. >> mr. sterling may not attend any nba games or practices. he may not be present at any clippers if a clippers facility and may not participate in any other league activity. >> reporter: the golden state warriors were planning to walk off the court after tipoff if sterling's punishment wasn't severe enough. there was also pressure on the clippers to take action. >> his decision took a lot of pressure off us. they wanted us to boycott. his decision allowed to us be basketball players. >> i will urge the board of governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team and will do everything in my power to ensure that that

happens. >> reporter: the move to force sterling out will begin immediately and requires a vote of three quarters of the owners to remove him. >> do you think the support is there? >> i think it's going to be unanimous. >> hall of famer shaquille o'neal is part owner of the los angeles kings. >> i would like to know where all the other owners stand. >> reporter: the clippers are now one step closer to closing out the series but the front office chaos concerns their coach. >> you think about coaching a team right now and i actually don't know you know who to call if i need something, you know? and so the quicker that this is done, the better for everyone. >> reporter: the nba commissioner also fined sterling $2.5 million. that is the maximum amount allowed by the league. that money will now be donated to an organization dedicated to anti-discrimination efforts. >> carter thanks.

sacramento mayor kevin johnson is a former nba all-star. he's now chairman of the nba players association. mayor johnson, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what do you expect the nba owners to do now? >> i think they're going to support their commissioner. adam silver came out very strong yesterday, a life ban. i mean you can't get any stronger than that. and he said he was going to essentially force mr. sterling to sell the team. we as players feel that it is exactly what we wanted to have happen. >> mr. mayor, do you expect donald sterling to sue the nba, to fight this? >> i think everyone is expecting him to sue and there be some sort of litigation. however, adam silva was so clear in his decisive unequivocal action, i think if i was mr. sterling, if i was the one giving him advice the first thing i would do if i was him, i would apologize, then i would say i embrace these sanctions and then i would say i'm going to spend the rest of my life proving i'm not a racist,

despite what you heard on tape. >> also, the question of how much racism exists and how much you have experienced and how much you've seen and how much have you heard. clearly he's not the only person who has expressed these kinds of things although they have not been recorded necessarily. >> you know charlie, what's important is if you think about the role of sports sports always advances civil rights. sports gives us an opportunity to transcend what goes on the court or on the field. and this was a great example here, where it was bigger than basketball for our players. our players felt an obligation to make sure they spoke out, not just for athletes but for anybody in society who's discriminated against. that's why they felt there's no place for bigotry or racism anything that's institutional, that's not positive for the nba, we felt like a cancer you had to cut it out immediately. and i would say today that the basketball nba world has a clean bill of health.

>> donald sterling did have a history of racial discrimination, including several disturbing lawsuits. do you think the nba missed an opportunity to deal with this earlier? >> you know what i'm not sure about that but what i do know is we didn't miss the opportunity today. if you think about it, this country for the last couple days, this was a defining moment, and i feel like we as an nba family we defined that moment the way it should have been defined. >> what's going to happen to the team? >> you know the team right now, they feel relieved because now they can focus on basketball. they don't have to worry about whether they're going to wear their jerseys inside out. they got a win on the court last night, but i felt like we got a bigger win off the court. they'll be able to focus on basketball. i think both teams, the warriors and the clippers they conducted themselves as players in a professional manner. let's not forget doc rivers in this. his leadership has been very critical as well. >> and he expressed so as well he and the president of the

clippers organization. >> absolutely. let me just show you how much this moment meant to our country. you know yesterday before the ruling i get a call from vice president biden. and he says "tell those players that we are standing with them that none of us would accept the disdain and the comments that were so representhensible by mr. sterling." when you have the president and the vice president and the white house standing with the players in this league, that is a testament of what sports can do. sports brings people together and allows us to talk about real issues and i think our players did a superb job. >> thanks kevin. >> thanks charlie. thanks, norah. >> oklahoma's governor is demanding review of the state's excuse procedures after a botched execution last night. clayton lockett was the first inmate injected with the state's new mix of lethal drugs. but minutes after being declared unconscious, lockett tried to lift his head mumbled and began

squirming. prison officials halted the execution. >> there was some indication it may not have worked. the line was blocked. >> governor mary fallon ordered a 14-day stay of execution for another inmate also set to die last night. >> new e-mails over the obama's administration in response to benghazi. the documents were concerned by the conservative organization judicial watch. four americans died, including ambassador chris stevens. bill plante is at the white house this morning. >> reporter: good morning to our viewers in the west. judicial watch documents do suggest that the white house in shaping its talking points in the benghazi attacks deliberately twisted the facts so the president would look good in his reelection campaign.

one e-mail was send from ben rhodes, the brother of cbs news president david rhodes. it was addressed to white house officials, including spokesman jay carney who would help prethen u.n. ambassador susan rice to present the administration response. it listed several goals for rice. among them, to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. also to reinforce the president and administration's strength. rice on all the sunday interview shows linked the consulate assault to protests against an anti-islam video, not a terrorist operation. >> we do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned. >> reporter: benghazi went on to become a flash point during a fierce election year. the white house insisted it was simply stating the facts known at the time. >> there are no unanswered questions about ambassador

rice's appearance on sunday shows. >> reporter: facing further scrutiny then secretary of state hillary clinton strongly defended both rice and the white house. >> with all due respect, the fact is we have four dead americans. was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some americans? what difference at this point does it make? >> reporter: republicans in congress now say the newly released e-mails are evidence that the white house was trying to protect the president has he faced reelection. >> it demonstrates for the first time the direction on the talking points came directly out of the white house. >> reporter: but a national security council spokesperson said the rhodes' e-mail reinforces a consistent white house message saying in a statement, "this e-mail con tans general topline talking points. there were protests taking place across the region in reaction to an offensive internet video so that's what these points

addressed." white house officials continue to insist they had every reason to believe at the time that the demonstrations inspired the attack. republicans in the house to disagree will have the chance to bring the matter up again at a hearing tomorrow. norah? >> bill, thank you. >> the president of ukraine this morning says his country as armed forces are on full alert for a possible russian attack but adds police are helpless when it comes to stopping pro-russian unrest. the latest target is in a small town about 20 miles from the russian border. dozens of separatists overran the local prosecutor's office and police headquarters. >> the united states is on the verge of bringing criminal charges against two of the world's biggest banks. that could lead to the first guilty plea by a major bank in more than 20 years. the "new york times" reports that credit suisse is under investigation for alleged live helping americans evade taxes. and the french bank bnp paribas

is being probed for working with those on a black list. >> and police say a gunman 19-year-old, had several home made explosives. a family friend said cramer often joked about carrying out a shooting at work. >> and it is now 7:19. ahead we're going to look at headlines from around the globe. plus you saw it right here the 4-year-old girl saved by her neighbor after a tornado's fury. this likely to be the hottest day of the week. it's going to be gorgeous all the way to the coastline temperatures even at the beaches, what a nice day at ocean beach, nice and clear. a rot of 70s there by the afternoon. -- a lot of 70s there by afternoon. but getting hot in spots especially inland. up in the 80 even some mid- 90 so about 93 in livermore. 92 in san jose. 86 in oakland. about 77 degrees on the beach in pacifica. slightly cooler for tomorrow.

perhaps hawaii where he grew up or new york where he went to college. chicago mayor rahm emanuel, the president's former chief of staff says the best way to secure the library is to make a big down payment. >> we're going to remind him oh so subtly this is where his wife and family are from this is where his kids were raised. this is his foundation. >> last week the committee committed to funding $100,000. there's just one problem. they held the vote without informing republicans. state representative ed sullivan is the top republican on the committee. he and his gop colleagues called for a revote. when it happens today, he will vote no. >> people have to look in the context of what's taking plachls they're $7007$7 billion in debt. this is want and we have to focus on needs.

>> the litclinton library in little rock cost and president bush's was over $250 million. but they were paid with private funs. mayor rahm emanuel sees this as an investment. >> you will make that money and more back as a city. >> obama foundation leaders say they want to announce the location of the presidential library sometime next year. they'll make a recommendation to the president first who will make the final decision. and, gayle we're talking about $100 million today, but it's estimated that the total cost to build this library will be about half a billion ionion ionion dollars. >> wow. >> wow. >> thank you, nancy cordes. it will be interesting to see where it goes. i like the line of rahm emanuel.

we're going remind him oh so subtly. >> we'll see how it shapes snup a very keen observation. >> we all saw that one. two violent cases are raising questions about edible marijuana. do pot filled snacks need to be made safer? we're talking about that next on "cbs this morning." in the nation, it's not always pretty. but add brand new belongings from nationwide insurance... ...and we'll replace destroyed or stolen items with brand-new versions. we take care of the heat so you don't get burned. just another way we put members first because we don't have shareholders. join the nation. ♪ nationwide is on your side ♪

great show. >> great show. >> that does it for us. be sure to tune in to the

san pablo bay will be pulled out of the water today. the good morning. it's wednesday, 8:56. i'm frank mallicoat. here's what's happening around the bay area. a small plane that crashed into the san pablo bay will finally get pulled out of the water later today. the cessna went down sunday afternoon after colliding with another plane midair near the richmond bridge. investigators believe the pilot's body is still inside that wreckage. a mother of three young girls is dead after a stabbing in east san jose. the victim was found in her apartment. police have no suspect information or motive for the murder. neighbors tell us a man and a woman with three young girls moved into the apartment about a year ago. time for weather now. and it's hot! >> yeah. hottest day of the year so far. i think if we're going to see that high pressure ridge, offshore winds combined to crank the temperatures up outside. we don't see that this time of year. records will be broken today. towards san jose, you have some

hazy skies, temperatures heating up as the ridge continues to build today. probably holding on for tomorrow, as well. so going to be getting hot in spots around the bay area. even near the coastline, some very warm temperatures. about 77 degrees in pacifica. you could be looking at 80s into santa cruz. 80s and 90s inside the bay. and maybe some mid-90s in some of the warmest spots. so very toasty temperatures today. tomorrow may be just a degree or two cooler. and then on friday the sea breeze likely to make a return. the fog moving back in along the coastline. expecting much cooler temperatures back to normal over the weekend then a chance of showers by monday. we're going to check out your "kcbs traffic" coming up next.

good morning. checking the road sensors now along the peninsula, we're still seeing a lot of the yellow and red ones from san mateo into san francisco. 280 looks better and once again they did clear all lanes southbound 280 at ocean. here's a live look at the bay bridge still backed up into the maze this morning and some of the approaches very slow, as well. 47 minutes on westbound 80 from the carquinez bridge to the maze. if you are traveling the nimitz, this is what this looks like near the oakland coliseum. northbound starts to slow around high street or even near 66 and continues like that towards your downtown oakland exits. southbound also very busy this morning from san leandro straight on down into fremont. you can see it's the heaviest though in hayward. and just a quick note. ace train is having delays.
