[0:02] >> Dan and Demetria coverage you can count
[0:04] on.
[0:10] >> Hurricane Francis, a massive storm, high
[0:13] winds, floods finally hitting Florida,
[0:15] but it's only the beginning. Terror's
[0:18] toll, the sorrow, relief, and rage as
[0:21] the death toll now reaches more than 300
[0:24] in Russia.
[0:26] Decision 2004, the big bounce. Good news
[0:29] for President Bush as he gets a boost
[0:31] from the convention.
[0:33] And heart monitor while former President
[0:36] Clinton awaits surgery. Questions now
[0:38] about what heart tests can and cannot
[0:40] show.
[0:44] This is NBC Nightly News with Brian
[0:48] Williams in Vero Beach, Florida and John
[0:51] Seagan in New York.
[0:54] And good evening from Vero Beach,
[0:56] Florida tonight where the onslaught of

[1:16] posted along 300 miles of Florida
[1:19] coastline. Hundreds of thousands are

[1:24] storm's current position and size on
[1:27] radar, it's not as strong or as fast as
[1:30] it once was. It's moving at a crawl. And
[1:33] that's the bad news, in fact, because of
[1:35] the amount of rain it is carrying and
[1:37] will now discharge over the state of
[1:39] Florida. We have correspondents fanned
[1:42] out all along the path of Hurricane
[1:44] Francis here tonight. And we'll begin
[1:46] with NBC's Robert Hager in Vero Beach.
[1:49] Bob, good evening.
[1:50] Good evening, Brian. Well, it's blowing
