"today," tuesday, august 30, 2022. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning and welcome to "today." thank you for joining us on this tuesday morning. i'm sheinelle jones alongside willie geist. savannah and hoda are off this morning.

>> nobody wants that magic to end for serena. >> it was a late night for a lot of us, but it was worth it. it was electric, wasn't it? >> yeah, the building -- you have those nights at flushing meadows at that stadium. last night was one of them. serena winning in straight sets capturing a little bit of that old serena. we just hope she can keep it going. we'll have much more on that match, and you don't want to miss what serena had to say after it. we'll get to that in just a bit. let's begin with the severe weather having a major impact across a wide section of the country. overnight 700,000 people lost power after powerful winds ham earned the midwest. >> meanwhile, imagine having no reliable water to cook with, to bathe with, to drink. that is what residents in jackson, mississippi, are facing this morning after flooding ravaged the city's already

strained water system. >> we have it all covered for you this morning including what you need to know about today's storms. but we begin with guad venegas from mississippi. >> reporter: good morning, sheinelle. the folks were preparing for major flooding which wasn't as bad as anticipated. with that good news came the bad news. the governor declaring a water system emergency which could mean for the capital city that a lot of people will be without running water. severe weather impacting millions nationwide including the midwest where powerful winds gusting up to 80 miles per hour knocked out power to nearly 700,000 across the region. the winds downing trees and

power lines in illinois and grounding flights out of chicago's o'hare airport. in mississippi nearly 200,000 residents in jackson are facing a potential crisis, a water system severely damaged by the latest flooding. state officials now preparing for a colossal challenge, providing enough water for everyone in the state's capital. >> this is not a small lift. >> reporter: the news hitting just as the pearl river begins to recede causing less extensive damage than had been forecast. floodwaters sparing homes but now presenting another threat. >> do we have any idea of the number of residents or homes where they won't be able to flush the toilet or, say, shower tonight? >> i can't tell you with certainty what the water pressure issues are going to be for any of those residents. >> reporter: the recent flooding is taking a toll on a system that was already in bad shape.

residents now fear going from bad water quality to no water at all. >> i feel sorry for the residents here because they know that this has been happening for years and nothing is being done about it >> reporter: a city facing one challenge after another with a water shortage now following the flooding now government officials say they do have a team, a state team, entering that water plant here in jackson today to try and see what is going on and see how they can help. now here is what's alarming. they can't tell us how many residents are without running water. what we do know is that officials here are preparing to bring in water for everyone in the city we're talking drinking water and nonportable water necessary for all of these basic necessities, sheinelle. >> quite the challenge there guad, thank you. dylan is in for al tracking the risk of even more severe weather. good morning while we do have rain possible along the gulf coast, the place we're watching today will be through the eastern great lakes. yesterday we saw wind reports near 80 miles per hour in northern indiana that did cause tree damage and some of that wind damage out that way, but as this moves to the east we are looking for the chance of some storms across the northeast but

nothing extremely severe at this point. we will see the possibility of some storms producing wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. a lot of these will fizzle out as they move eastward. i want to point out the location of this by 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 tonight along the i-95 corridor could slow things down on the roads for the evening commute, create delays in philadelphia, baltimore international airport, also down to d.c., too but still down through the gulf coast we have this stalled front, and that is going to produce some spotty showers and since the ground is totally saturated any additional rain could lead to more flooding. we're also going to see about 1 to 2 inches of rain across the interior northeast keep in mind the northeast does need the rain, so that's where we could see some welcome rain it's down south where we certainly don't need it anymore. sheinelle? >> thank you, dylan. we'll get to the rest of her forecast in a moment first, new twists in the fbi search of donald trump's florida home the justice department has now completed its initial review of documents that were seized so how will that shape the investigation? nbc's senior washington

correspondent hallie jackson has the latest hallie, good morning >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning to you the justice department is set to respond today to this latest legal back and forth over whether an independent third party should review that classified material. that's something former president trump wants, even as new details this morning could undercut mr. trump's push and concerns a special master could slow down the investigation's progress a new phase this morning in the justice department's investigation into classified documents former president trump had at his mar-a-lago home with doj lawyers confirming they've done an initial review of what was there and have identified some material that could be considered protected under attorney/client privilege. that could undermine the trump team's request to have a so-called special master do a kind of third-party review of the hundreds of pages of sensitive documents. >> there's still a need for a judge to get involved on every aspect of this, checking their assertions of privilege but giving us fair, timely access,

letting us build a case for why this search warrant was not only essentially morally wrong but legally wrong. >> reporter: some legal experts suggest the former president's team may have waited too long to ask for an independent party to get involved >> now that the documents have mostly been reviewed, you cannot put that toothpaste back in the tube so the reason for a special master becomes diminished. >> reporter: a special master could still come to different conclusions than the doj's initial review team did with the judge set to rule on that soon after suggesting last week she was inclined to appoint one. it comes as mr. trump is again lashing out at the fbi and rehashing the 2020 election he lost, demanding to be declared the rightful winner despite his defeat and calling for a new election immediately, although federal law, not former officials, determines federal

election dates and now new fallout for a key ally senator lindsey graham facing backlash after these comments sunday. >> if there's a prosecution of donald trump for mishandling classified information, there will be riots in the streets >> that type of rhetoric is as irresponsible -- >> reporter: graham now trying to clarify >> i reject violence i am not calling for violence. violence is not the answer >> meanwhile, hallie, a top-secret service official involved in the january 6th investigation stepping down. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: we're talking about tony ornato, the head of president trump's detail while he was in office ornato retired after 25 years with the secret service telling nbc news this was long planned you'll remember that ornato was at the center of explosive testimony during the january 6 hearings when former aide cassidy hutchinson testified he described to her how mr. trump lunged at the driver on the day of the insurrection. that account has been disputed

ornato has testified in front of the january 6 committee according to an aide sheinelle? >> hallie, thank you ukrainian forces are launching a major counter offensive, appears to be aimed at reclaiming russian-held territory in southern ukraine. there are reports of new strikes around that besieged nuclear power plant that has sparked fears of a potential catastrophe. nbc's meagan fitzgerald joins us from kyiv. good morning >> reporter: days after the u.s. announced the $3 billion aid package for ukraine, the country seems eager to show it's putting these resources to good use. this morning ukrainian troops are on the attack, launching a new counter offensive now under way in the south, a mission to take back the russian-occupied region of kherson sieged at the start of the war and new signs the operation may be working the biden administration says russia is already being forced to redirect troops from the east to try and respond to the attacks, but russia says the counterattack failed miserably in his overnight address to the nation, president zelenskyy

said, we will drive them out to the border if they want to survive, it is time for the russian military to flee go home. meanwhile, that your generality mission to prevent a nuclear disaster at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is under way scientists from the international atomic energy agency arrived in kyiv overnight and are expected at the power plant tomorrow the agency says the team will undertake urgent safeguard activities and will determine if the plant is able to operate safely, a trip that can't happen soon enough as the white house says putin's control of the facility is strategic. >> the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant basically controls all of the electrical power for southern ukraine and even beyond he can hold that power hostage >> reporter: this as fighting around the plant continues russia once again blaming ukraine for shelling a building that stores nuclear waste as these new satellite images appear to confirm holes in the

roof, claims ukraine has continuously denied. now there's no doubt that these inspectors will be paying close attention to the damage at the plant. they'll make recommendations, they'll offer some solutions, but here is the thing. they can't force the russians to fix anything and they can't stop the shelling willie >> thank you so much that now delayed first launch and nasa's mission to return to the move the focus at the kennedy space center this morning getting to the bottom of a problem with an engine that acted up yesterday and whether it can be fixed in time for the next launch window coming up on friday. nbc's tom costello is back at cape canaveral for us this morning. tom, how soon do we expect some answers? >> reporter: probably after dinner time. we expect an update from mission managers in the meantime launch crews are going to be back out on the pad today trying to dissect the problem with the number three engine why is that super cooled liquid hydrogen not flowing properly into the number three engine if they can figure it out and fix it, they may try for a friday launch. but the launch window opens at

12:45 in the afternoon, and that's about the same time we're expecting violent summer storms to roll through florida so we could be looking at yet another delay. on the iconic launch pad 39b today an urgent effort to identify technical problems that canceled monday's test >> this is "artemis" launch control -- >> reporter: 7:50 a.m., with just 40 minutes until the "artemis" launch window was set to open, trouble on the pad. >> an issue with one of the four engines in the core stage. >> reporter: the "artemis" rocket uses four rs-25 engines, borrowed from the previous space shuttle missions but as the launch team flowed super cooled fuel into the engines for liftoff, the number three engine didn't cool enough. >> a scrub has been called for today. >> reporter: this is how the engines are supposed to fire, exploding in speed from 0 to 17,000 miles per hour pushing "artemis" through the earth's gravitational pool and on to the moon now engineers will diagnose the cooling problem in hopes of trying to launch again on friday in engineer speak --

>> there's a non-zero chance we'll have a launch on friday. if we can resolve this operationally on the pad in the next 48 hours, 72 hours, friday is in play >> reporter: after friday, labor day is the next option among the thousands who gathered to watch nasa launch its most powerful rocket ever few seemed deterred if engineers can't fix the engine problem on the pad they may have to roll "artemis" back to the massive vehicle assembly building to swap out an engine, and that delay could take weeks to resolve while "artemis" has support from both republicans and democrats, the program has cost billions more and taken far longer than expected to launch nasa chief and former astronaut bill nelson. it's overbudget, behind schedule, is this program jinxed >> to the contrary folks said the same thing about the james webb space telescope twice as long, twice as much

money. look what that telescope is telling us and will tell us for the next 20 years. >> reporter: each "artemis" launch costs about $4 billion, but, nelson makes the point the development costs associated with "artemis" are going to be spread out over 10o 15 years and ultimately they want the private sector, the spacexs of the world, to come in and assume some of those roles. he also makes the point if you want to go big, if you want to go deep and go back to space, it ain't cheap. sheinelle? >> that's for sure tom, looking forward, what's the plan if nasa can't fix the engine issue by the next launch window this weekend >> reporter: right, so friday is the first option, monday is the second option. if it doesn't work then, then they have a window opening on september 19th until early october.

they may push it to that period and bring the whole thing back here to the vehicle assembly building to work on the rocket stack in the meantime. >> that's not what they want we'll see what happens tom, thank you let's turn back to the weather and get the rest of dylan's forecast how does it look it's kind of an active day some storms in the northeast this cold front will produce heavier rain down through western and central texas. we'll have to watch out for some afternoon storms in the southeast, too look at this back to the midwest, 80s, 90s, lower humidity, lots of sunshine record high temperatures likely out west especially in the pacific northwest where highs will be running about at least 15 degrees above average that's a look at the weather across the country we'll get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. and that's your latest no, the -- the phone tells you who called. she didn't mention a good time to call her back. how am i supposed to know when to call her back? no. she just shouldn't have left a voicemail. 9 out of 10 times, a text will do. progressive can't save you from becoming your parents, but we can save you money when you bundle home and auto with us.

restaurants are raking in big bucks for breakfast items when other meals might be buckling a bit under the weight of inflation. those who study the industry say it makes sense >> a lot of it has to do with people coming back to work we've seen a lot more people in offices right now. but a lot of it has to do with inflation, and i think people seeking out value. >> we're focusing on the people who are on a budget trying to save money >> reporter: and while the value for breakfast certainly sizzles, convenience is also a major selling point for companies like wawa the quick service restaurant and gas station serving specialty coffee, hot hoagies and breakfast burritos up and down the east coast to parents, like brian frazier >> it's quick, i order online, i walk in and walk right back out. >> reporter: wawa has seen coffee sales 30% and breakfast

>> reporter: willie, a lot of restaurants right now have invested in technologies to try to make the ordering experience easier of course that includes the app. use those apps to your advantage. just by signing up you get loyalty rewards. that's the case for wawa when it comes to mcdonald's there are promotions on the app not available anywhere else. for example, iced or hot coffee, speaking of that, for 99 cents and as we've reported, the average price right now for a cup of coffee is about $4 or more so many people right now feeling like they're loving that willie back to you >> 99 cents. i'll take that is it bad my mouth was watering when we showed the sausage, egg and cheese >> how many egg mcmuffins do you think you can eat? >> reporter: totally understandable to be honest with you, i have put this to the test, eight to ten range. i think fraternity challenge 10 to 15 years ago. i did clear double digits. >> just drive straight to the doctor sam brock in miami, thanks so much >> we'll have another "consumer

mississippi where there is no reliable water in the city of jackson. that's where nbc's guad venegas is standing by. guad, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, sheinelle. millions affected by the severe weather, as you mentioned. a lot of people without power in places like minnesota and illinois. they've had this 80-mile-per-hour wind that has knocked over power lines. as you mentioned, about 700,000 people affected by these outages. there's also been issues for air travelers in chicago. 300 flights grounded at o'hare airport. meanwhile, further south in mississippi, people have been bracing for major flooding which wasn't as bad as anticipated but now there's a different water problem in jackson. the main plant that supplies water to the city has issues. in fact, last night government officials here, state officials, said they have no idea if the main plant is operating and what the issues are inside the plant. what they know is the citizens of jackson do not have reliable water at the moment, running water, so the governor has created a plan where they're bringing in water for everyone

in the city. this is a colossal test. we're talking about 200,000 people in jackson and its surroundings. they have to bring in drinking water and water that they can use for showering or other basic necessities. the government doing what they can as they also send a team in this morning to try and see what the problem is and try and fix the issues with the water. now here in jackson, they did have some water issues in the past. it had to do with the quality. there's been a boil water notice in effect for a few weeks. last night the governor said it is no longer about the quality of the water. things here are about the quantity of the water, making sure they can restore it and help the residents have that running water service which is just necessary to be able to continue with their everyday tasks here, sheinelle. >> absolutely. guad, thank you. now to new developments related to the fbi search of former president donald trump's

than the doj's initial review team did with a judge set to rule on that soon. willie >> we will see hallie, thank you very much. we are learning more details this morning about a deadly shooting at an oregon grocery store over the week. police say one of the two victims who died was an employee who was attempting to disarm the gunman they say he likely saved the lives of others in the safeway store by physically attacking the shooter who was carrying an assault-style rifle. the other victim was an 84-year-old customer in the store. the gunman turned the gun on himself before police arrived. u.s. mint is rolling out five more coins in honor of ground-breaking american women the agency announced the new designs yesterday which include one for eleanor roosevelt, the longest serving first lady who later became a delegate to the united nations also barrier breaking aviator bessie coleman is featured, the first african american and native american woman pilot. the coins will enter circulation next year. >> those are keepers that's a good deal are you ready for a boost? is a beautiful lesson in
