The flood story remains the broadcast’s top concern, but tonight’s rundown also moves quickly through several major developing stories across the U.S.

Elsewhere in the broadcast, NBC reports on a small plane crash on a Florida beach, another dramatic story in a week already packed with severe weather, transportation incidents and developing investigations.
That combination is exactly why the evening-news format still earns its place: a single broadcast taking viewers from an international disaster zone to a closely watched criminal trial and then into breaking stories developing across the country.
For Friday, August 28, the flood disaster remains the story demanding the most attention — a rescue operation still unfolding while families wait for answers and emergency crews keep searching.
