Rainfall totals of 2 to 5 inches were common across North Texas Wednesday, with isolated areas seeing up to 9 inches. Flooding is anticipated as lakes and rivers are still recovering from our last flooding event.

TODAY Show meteorologist Al Roker joins NBC 5 live from Dallas where he discusses the heavy rain caused by Tropical Depression Bill.

"We're more vulnerable to flooding right now than usual because we just got through the wettest month on record," Texas climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon said.[[307838301,C]]

As of about 10 p.m., Oncor reported 2,316 outages in Tarrant County and 2,195 power outages in Dallas County.
