>> everybody okay? >> reporter: high winds damaged this exxon chemical plant in nearby deer park. the person who shared this video with cbs news confirming everyone inside at the time is okay. sirens warned of the approaching storm as residents were urged to take shelter. strong winds flipped over trucks and flooded streets in other parts of the houston area. emergency officials were out in full force to rescue people from the fast-rising water. the same system stretching from the gulf coast to new england, enveloping parts of tennessee with thick fog and dumping snow from oklahoma to vermont. right now, people are here are assessing the damage. as you can see, they are cleaning up. they are removing debris from the road. while the tornado threat is moving out of the lone star state, it continues overnight for several other states. norah. >> such an important point. janet shamlian, thank you. as janet said, as that threat continues in the south and those winter storm warnings are in effect across the northeast that could dump more than a half a

foot of snow on some areas. so let's bring in our meteorologist mike bettes from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, mike. >> norah, good evening. that threat for tornadoes and severe storms like what we saw play out in houston will remain this evening. the threatened areas most likely down along i-10, but storms come racing across louisiana, mississippi, and alabama. even after dark tonight, there's a significant risk. then tomorrow through the panhandle of florida into georgia and the carolinas, these are all spots where extreme winds and tornadoes will be possible. then on the north side of all that, a pretty significant winter storm is playing out here from northern arkansas all the way through the ohio valley in the northeast. significant snow is on the way. really treacherous driving conditions here. that storm rolling from, say, the buckeye state into the northeast late in the week. some places here, norah, could pick up half a foot to a foot before all is said and done. >> we'll be watching. mike bettes, thank you. let's turn now to some breaking news about a dozen documents with classified markings have been found at the indiana home of former vice

placed in a safe, and fbi agents came to the indiana residence last week to collect them. >> these are the nation's secrets. >> reporter: the search came just days after pence assured multiple journalists, including cbs's robert costa, that he had been more responsible about documents than president biden was. >> our staff reviewed all of the materials in our office and in our residence to ensure that there were no classified materials that left the white house or remained in our possession. >> reporter: former president trump, whose own handling of documents is under investigation, came to his vp's defense today. "mike pence is an innocent man," he wrote. "leave him alone." mr. biden, whose delaware home was searched by the fbi last week, wouldn't weigh in on today's news, nor would attorney general merrick garland, who has

already appointed special counsels to examine the biden and trump situations. >> well, as you expect, i'm afraid my answer is going to have to be that i'm unable to comment on this. >> nancy cordes joins us now from the white house. so did they say anything there today about all this? >> reporter: norah, publicly the white house had absolutely no reaction. but behind the scenes, several officials actually expressed relief that mr. biden is now not the only former vice president to discover that he had some classified documents stored in an unsecure area. >> nancy cordes, thank you so much. let's turn now to the latest news on that disturbing story out of memphis and the death of 29-year-old tyre nichols, who died after an encounter with police earlier this month. there have been growing demands by his family for police to release video of the incident. the family was shown the video on monday, and their attorney called it violent and appalling. today the top prosecutor in

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm erica brown in washington. thanks for staying with us. there are countless tragic stories from the war in afghanistan, and many of them involve children. this morning we have the story of a young girl who was 3 years old when she was rescued after a raid on a taliban hideout. baby l, as she's called, is now at the center of a custody battle here in the u.s. an afghan couple claims they are her rightful family. trouble is she's already been adopted by a u.s. marine and his

family. catherine herridge spoke to the american couple just two days before a virginia court placed a gag order on both families. >> reporter: this story has an incredible number of layers, but at the heart of it, there are two families who truly believe they are doing the right thing when it comes to this child's future. >> show us how strong you are. >> reporter: with training wheels and some encouragement, she looks like any other 3-year-old learning to ride a bike. but this child's story is anything but ordinary. it begins on the battlefield in afghanistan in september 2019, when a counterterrorism team zeroed in on this remote compound. baby l was severely injured in the raid, and her parents were killed. she was roughly 2 months old. this former army ranger e who we'll call david for security reasons, was on the mission, which combined u.s. and afghan forces. he spoke exclusively with cbs news on the condition we shield his identity and change his voice. >> in this firefight, you hear

the sound of a baby crying. >> yeah. it it was almost a natural response is you're going to hear that and want to do something about it. >> reporter: an unclassified military report reviewed by cbs news found the child was likely the orphan daughter of an al qaeda foreign fighter, who entered afghanistan from a neighboring country. >> the baby was right here in this corner. >> reporter: david says partner afghan forces then suggested throwing the baby in a nearby river. >> they wanted me to throw the baby into the river because they believed she was a terrorist. >> reporter: six additional army rangers also on the mission backed up david's account, telling cbs news some afghan forces suggested drowning or abandoning the baby to die. as a soldier and as a new father, what was going through your head? >> it was definitely not an option. >> reporter: the army rangers made a car seat from scraps and medical equipment. a bandage wrapped around her head en route to a u.s. military

hospital is one of her first known pictures. so you have a lot of severely injured rangers, but they're going around that site, and they're trying to fashion a car seat? there must have been a lot of dads on that operation. >> there was a lot of dads on that operation. >> reporter: at a military base, baby l was treated for fractures to her leg and skull and second-degree burns on her face and neck. >> i know exactly where i was. >> reporter: joshua mast, a marine lawyer, was deployed to afghanistan at the time. he wasn't on the raid but says he heard about the child from his boss. >> it was like, what the heck are we going to do with this baby? i'm like, what baby, sir? he's like, oh, the operators pulled the child off an al qaeda objective. it was really bad. >> when mast learned about the baby, he called his wife stephanie, who was in the u.s. raising the couple's sons. >> the moment we heard about her for the first time, it wasn't a difficult decision to make. it was just there was an innocent child caught in an unfortunate situation, and we wanted to see if there's anything we could do to help, and we were able to. >> reporter: this photo, shared

with the masts, is from a nurse's station. >> i would say that's one of my favorite photos of her because, again, behind her there's a combat trauma center and like a real military hospital where service members are coming in and you've got this little girl they're taking care of. >> reporter: as the child was treated in a military hospital, the masts began the pro session of officially adopting baby l in the u.s. meanwhile, the afghan government and the international red cross searched for baby l's biological family in afghanistan. according to court documents, the baby was eventually given to an afghan couple. the then-afghan government determined the husband to be the baby's first cousin. the couple asked to remain anonymous due to safety concerns for themselves and their families in afghanistan. as the taliban took control of afghanistan in 2021, the afghan couple agreed to bring the baby to the united states. in a federal lawsuit, the afghan

couple claims the masts encouraged them to bring the baby to the u.s. solely for medical care but never told them they had already adopted the baby. >> were you clear with the couple about your adoption? >> yes, because we were -- have to treat her like our other children to communicate the clearest we could that we're responsible for her under u.s. law. >> did you use the award adoption? >> i don't think i used the word adoption. we were trying to explain again in a way they would understand because they don't have a concept of adoption in afghanistan. >> reporter: over a three-month period, cbs news reached out to the afghan couple for an interview. their lawyers declined, most recently citing the court gag order. as kabul fell, the afghan couple and the baby were evacuated by u.s. forces, first to ramstein air base in germany, where the masts met them at a refugee camp. baby l was now about 2 years old. >> when you found her, did you immediately recognize her?

>> no, not at all. i -- it was -- i was shocked. she didn't look like the child in the hospital. in the hospital, she had big brown eyes, big smile, and when i saw her, she had furrowed brow, and she was kind of closed off. and it wasn't until i saw the scar on her leg, because she has a very distinct scar, and i was like, it's her. it's really her. >> reporter: and that's where the fight over this child really begins. tomorrow in part two, we'll show you the chaotic moment the child was transferred to the masts. the afghan couple says they did not know the masts had officially adopted the baby in the u.s. and were blindsided when the masts took custody. plus, the surprising dna evidence and why the u.s. government is taking such a government is taking such a strong position in the one prilosec otc each morning blocks heartburn all day and all night. prilosec otc reduces excess acid for 24 hours, blocking heartburn before it starts. one pill a day. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

a tornado cut a path through the community of pasadena outside houston late this afternoon, crumbling buildings like this gym and cutting power lines in some areas. >> like chaos and very loud. the metal was crashing. the glass was breaking out. it was extremely loud. >> everybody okay? >> reporter: high winds damaged this exxon chemical plant in nearby deer park. the person who shared this video with cbs news confirming everyone inside at the time is okay. sirens warned of the approaching storm as residents were urged to take shelter. strong winds flipped over trucks and flooded streets in other parts of the houston area. emergency officials were out in full force to rescue people from the fast-rising water. the same system stretching from the gulf coast to new england, enveloping parts of tennessee with thick fog and dumping snow from oklahoma to vermont.

investigation, came to his vp's defe "mike pence is an innocent man," he wrote.
