Tonight on NBC Nightly News

Sudden impact

A violent storm system swept across the nation's midsection this New Year's Eve, spawning deadly tornadoes in several states. NBC's Michelle Hofland is in St. Louis where residents were warned to stay indoors and brace for the wild weather. One of the hardest hit towns is Cincinatti, Arksansas, where The Weather Channel's Julie Martin will have the latest on the storm's destructive power.

Plus, a rare behind the scenes look at tough security measures in New York City, where the nation's economy may be headed next year, ethical questions raised by the order that one jailed sister must give a kidney to her ailing sibling as a condition of release from prison and a special Making a Difference report on those stories that sparked the most responses from Nightly News viewers.
