"eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." as you wake up in the west, we have breaking news in the war against isis. american war planes are backing kurdish troops fighting to recapture a strategic city in northern iraq. the united states military officials say american advisors also helped the kurds plan the attack. >> sinjar sits along a key supply rout. isis captured the city more than a year ago and is accused of using murder and rape to terrorize the local population. charlie d'agata is on the ground with kurdish forces. >> reporter: good morning. some of what you see there is smoke rising from a series of air strikes targeting isis militants inside and around the city of sinjar. we've lost count of the number of air strikes that have been launched in that vicinity overnight. they've been firing artillery into the city. this is all part of a major offensive to retake sinjar.

we understand 7,500 kurdish forces are closing in on three sides of the city, trying to push isis out. and one of the reasons, it sits between the two isis strongholds of raqqah in syria and mosul in iraq. so they're trying to cut off supply routes between those two cities. but it's not going to be easy. kurdish forces that we spoke to said they fear snipers. now the city may be rife with bobby traps, homemade bombs beneath the homes and inside buildings. and there's always the concern of suicide bombers, if not on foot, then traveling in vehicles packed with explosive. norah? >> incredible reporting this morning, charlie d'agata, thank you so much, in iraq. this morning a huge weather system is slamming the midwest with heavy rains and strong winds. and it is moving east. a line of powerful storms is churning near the great lakes. at least ten tornadoes have been reported. >> rain and wind pummelled parts

shaken. >> it sounded like more than one freight train put together. i never heard a sound like that in my life. >> reporter: the storm system stretched to missouri, fueled these lightning strikes over chicago, and blew the roof off of this home in kansas. >> it's gone. so now, you know, all i can really do is, i've got to fix it. >> pulling into my driveway. >> reporter: in oklahoma, wind gusts of 60 miles per hour whipped several wildfires out of control, burning down this home and forcing evacuations, as firefighters struggled to keep up with the flames. >> the wind was originally out of the west, blowing to the east. and it just -- it didn't matter what we did. it wasn't going to stop the fire. >> reporter: the same severe storm system dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of the rockies and blanketed roads in nebraska. the couple that lives here says they're meeting with insurance agents today. now, as for these winds, they're

headed east, hitting the great lakes, ohio valley, and northern plains today. the winds will really pick up this afternoon, with wind gusts possibly reaching as high as 60 miles per hour. >> adriana, thanks. hail and wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour pounded minneapolis. enough hail fell to coat the ground. danielle niles of our boston station wbz is tracking the severe weather as the system heads east. >> good morning, everybody. we have 18 states that are under a high wind warning or wind advisory, all the way from montana stretching east towards new york and pennsylvania. big storm, 45 to 55-mile-per-hour gusts, will cause scattered outages. airport delays from the northern plains to the midwest. behind it, chilly, cold air with gusty wind to the northeast tomorrow. meanwhile, rain and snow coming into the pacific northwest, 6 to 10 inches of rain with downpours

helicopters reported being struck by dangerously bright green lasers. the attacks were caught on camera by two of the crews. pilot and reporter joe beerman from our new york station wcbs says the lasers hit his cockpit several times. >> when we got lasered, at the same time the nypd was right next to us. >> reporter: news crews guided police to the location of the lasers. two suspects were taken into custody. just after 7:30 last night, air traffic controllers in dallas warned pilots after three different planes, a southwest airlines boeing 737, a virgin america airbus 319, and a private business jet were all hit by a laser while preparing to land at love field. >> you want to turn away from the light source. except if it's a helicopter, you can't turn away from the light source. it's incapacitating for a few moments. >> reporter: police pilot kevin

cook patrols the skies over los angeles, a particular hotbed for laser strikes. it's become such a problem, all 88 airborne lapd officers have been issued special protective glasses. now, no one was hurt last night. but pointing one of these at an aircraft is a crime. it can result in jail time, typically up to five years, and a substantial fine, gayle. >> thank you, kris. federal investigators plan to start removing the chartered jet that crashed into an apartment complex in akron, ohio. tuesday's crash killed all seven passengers and two crew members on the plane. it went down as it approached the akron-fulton international airport at the end of a flight to dayton, ohio. don dahler is near the scene of the accident. >> reporter: good morning. investigators have sent the cockpit voice recorder and sent it to washington for analysis. they're taking a look at the turbine engines as well as maintenance records for the aircraft and weather conditions at the time of the accident.

♪ . jcpenney this morning has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit for $50 million. they were tricking customers into thinking they were getting deeper discountings on sales by misrepresenting the original prices. they released a statement saying while we are confident of our

position, revolving this litigation re. >> melody, good morning. all right, first let's establish what's at stake here, what happened? >> what happened is they're being accused of false advertising. the idea is called price anchoring where they advertise an item on sale, they list the original price, and the plaintiffs are saying the original price was overstated to make the discount appear bigger. here's what i learned ed in researching this story, pricing is competitive by state. they have a rule that an item must be on the floor a third of the time before it's put on sale. so think about this, jcpenney moves one billion units a year, and the rules are different by states, so this is a very, very complicated thing, easy to trip.

>> but they don't admit any wrong doing but they agreed to settle. which makes most people think, well they must be guilty. >> this was in ash brace, the arbitrator said the fine would be anywhere in $100 million to 1 $20 million. they have this controversial ceo don johnson, he had made some changes around pricing and changed some policies back and forth that could have tripped them up here. they're not saying that publicly, but that's my sense. >> is jcpenney going to make changes? >> when you write a check for $50 million you start to watch very closely what the rules are. price integrity is very

important to them. but there are not the only ones in this situation. there are a number of class-action suits against kohl's, t.j. max. >> macy's reported a very sharp drop it's quarterly sales. how are they going? >> not great, jcpenney has had a major turn around, their stock is up while the sales are down about 30%. they had suggested that christmas wouldn't be great for them. but the whole industry has definitely been under a cloud and they have had to deal with competition with companies like amazon that have taken market share, and there's been some slowness of them getting jane line, and market share.
