I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.  

Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!

Here is the doppler estimated rain from the past 5 days across the region as a combination of near-record levels of moisture in the atmosphere and slow moving disturbances led to repeated rounds of heavy rainfall each night from Monday through Thursday nights with flooding. #txwx

[Wes Rapaport @wesrap]

The National Weather Service has bumped up the excessive rainfall outlook to HIGH in Southwest Texas.

State emergency response resources deployed by @TDEM remain engaged in support of local partners.

Follow instructions from local officials and stay weather aware.
