powerful winds and possibly tornadoes. the fast-moving storm system unleashed torrential rains along the heartland today. a suspected tornado was spotted this evening in powersville, iowa. another twister was spotted in the southern iowa town of avoca. an 18 wheeler was blown off the road there by 77-mile-per-hour winds. that same severe storm system created blizzard conditions across the rocky mountains and western plains. the blinding snow made driving dangerous near denver. eric fisher is chief meteorologist at our cbs station in boston, wbz. eric, how bad is it? >> charlie, we've been watching these damaging storms move across iowa this afternoon and into this evening. several reported tornadoes along the way. there are still more damage reports coming in as we speak and the weather service will be surveying some of the damage tonight and into the day tomorrow. some of those pictures showing certainly several tornadoes have touched down. we still have tornado watches that extend farther off to the east this evening as the whole line will be tracking its way into illinois and parts of wisconsin. the thunderstorms moving east. as we head into the overnight and into the day tomorrow. still many showers but the storm becomes more wind, not just from severe weather. a broad area of very strong winds will be blowing across the midwest into the great lakes, many of these locations gusting 35-55 miles per hour. and, charlie, you can expect a lot of travel delays because of the winds the next two days. >> rose: the iowa caucuses are just 82 days away, which explains the sharp elbows thrown during last night's republican presidential debate. 15 candidates in the field, eight on stage, each trying to stand out. major garrett reports a major campaign issue has emerged. >> can you -- >> reporter: the republican rift over illegal immigration widened at the fourth presidential debate, with donald trump demanding mass deporitation of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. >> we either have a country or we don't have a country. we are a country of laws that have to go out, and they'll come back, but they're going to have to go out, and hopefully they get back. >> reporter: that drew a sharp rebuke from ohio governor john kasich. >> come on, folks. we all know you can't pick them up and ship them across-- back across the border. it's a silly argument. ( applause ) it's not -- >> reporter: when asked this morning on msnbc if trump would create a "keporitation force" he responded yes. >> we're going to have a deportation force, and you're going to do it humanely. >> reporter: jeb bush called trump's approach impractical. >> his views are he believes you can round up half a million people a month. a half a million people basically, i think, would double the number of people processed through our judicial system. it's not possible. >> reporter: during the debate, bush warned democrats would exploit the issue. >> they're doing high-fives in the clinton campaign right now when they hear this. >> reporter: and in fact, hillary clinton retweeted a message about trump's imagined deportation force, the operative word, "no." clinton factord prominently in both g.o.p. debates. this was chris christie in the undercard version. >> hillary clinton is coming for your wallet. >> reporter: the phrase "deportation force" carries stark imagery, even more stark than mitt romney's self-deportation. republicans long-anxious about the trump effect on the party are fearful of a 2016 sequel. >> rose: major garrett in des moines, iowa, thanks. john dickerson is our cbs news political director and the anchor of "face the nation." john, during that debate, a lot of attacks on hillary clinton. why? >> reporter: well, all the candidates were auditioning. if primary voters vote first on ideology do, they agree with the candidates on the stage on the issues, they also vote on electability. can they imagine those candidates going all the way, going the distance to november? so what they were doing was trying to give voter as glimpse of how tough they'd be on hillary clinton if they were up against her in the general election. >> rose: and jeb bush said during the debate the republican debate on immigration is creating high-fives in the clinton camp. >> reporter: what bush meant is the democrats benefit with minority voters when republicans boast about deporting undocumented workers. ted cruz said he found that offensive and that he, ted cruz other ands, are just trying to enforce the laws. but bush may have literally been right when he said that during the debate because brian fallon, the clinton press secretary tweeted, "we are actually high-fiving each other right now." >> rose: john dickerson in des moines. thank you. john will moderate the democratic presidential debate saturday night at 9:00 right here on cbs. today, forensic teams began recovering and identifying nine people killed yesterday when a business jet crashed into an apartment building in akron, ohio. don dahler is there. >> reporter: the charter flight ended in a fireball in this neighborhood. the hawker 700 had two pilots and seven employees on board from a boca raton, florida, real estate company, pebb enterprises. our hearts are broken this morning read a company statement.

if there were any left in the office. >> reporter: authorities know who the other missing passengers and employees are, but, charlie, they're not going to release those names until the victims have been positively identified by medical records. >> rose: thanks, don. satellites will soon be able to track jetliners anywhere in the world using common radio frequencies. the deal worked out today by the u.n. is in response to the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight 370 last year. 239 were killed. the boeing 777 was out of radar range. searchers have still not located where it went down. on this veterans day, president obama said he's still not satisfied with the department of veterans affairs. the president ordered a massive overhaul last year after reports that many vets were forced to wait months for treatment. margaret brennan reports the v.a. paid millions in bonuses, some of it to doctors under investigation. >> reporter: dr. david houlihan, former chief of staff at the v.a. medical center in tomah, wisconsin, was nicknamed "the candyman." he allegedly doled out an alarmingly high amount of narcotic pain medications to patients. yet, the v.a. still paid houlihan a $4,000 performance bonus last year, taxpayer money he kept after being fired earlier this week. the v.a. paid out $143 million in performance bonuses to employees in 2014, even though several of them were under investigation or accused of mismanagement. the list was compiled by the house veterans affairs committee and its republican chair jeff miller, who said it's evidence of the v.a.'s disturbing trend of rewarding employees who preside over corruption and incompetence. but in a stairnlgt the v.a. said it needs to pay bonuses to attract and retain top talent and notes it did suspend payouts last year to some senior executives following revelations that employees falsified wait lists to meet targets. v.a. secretary bob mcdonald said the agency has made progress but congress is in the way. >> my vision is being held hostage by politics. and what i'm trying to do is to work with the members of the congress to leave politics at the door and focus on veterans. >> reporter: now, charlie, mcdonald needs congress to approve a more than $1 billion funding increase he requested to help overhaul the v.a. to serve the 23 million veterans in this country. >> rose: thanks, margaret. two

both companies spent over $200 million on ads that seemed to run nonstop during football games. >> this is the fantasy football season that could change it all. >> reporter: the sites were exempt from a 2006 federal law that banned online gambling because, they argued, their contests involved skill not luck. but after investigating the two companies, new york attorney general eric schneiderman is calling a foul. >> it's not some new variation on the traditional fantasy sports. it's just a variation on illegal online gambling, and you can't do that in new york state. >> reporter: fantasy sports players like eric gioseffi believe schneiderman has gone too far. >> i don't think it's going to work out well for him at all. >> reporter: six other states have banned online fantasy sports for money but according to industry research, nurk state has more daily fantasy players than any other. >> the aggressive marketing, the instant payout the fact you can do it on your phone anymore-- this is a very tempting venue for anyone who has gambling addiction problems. >> reporter: today in a conference call with reporters, fan dual's c.e.o. said the company would pursue every legal option >>

simply receiving it. two students were arrested and charged with felonies for distributing child pornography. parents thomas failin and andrew fepton are fighting to overturn their sons' suspensions. >> nobody knows what's coming to their phone. if he's 18, colleges are going to say, "are, "have you been sud from school?" he's going to have to say yes. the next question will be why and according to what the administration was telling me on fridays, child porn was on his phone. >> reporter: this month, officials in colorado reported at least 100 students at canyon city high school used a secret yap to exchange nude photos on their smartphones. police in ohio are currently investigating a sexting case involving 14 children ranging from 11 to 17. computer expert and cnet editor dan ackerman said with modern technology there is no way to guarantee your child's safety. >> the one thing we've discovered over the years is anything that you put out there on the internet, whether it's something you're posting publicly or something you're sending privately, exists somewhere. it can never truly be deleted. >> reporter: looking back, kieran and a.j. admit there's one thing they could
