Provo River's High and Fast Runoff Due to Rising Temperatures

Provo River in Utah is running high and fast due to hotter temperatures accelerating spring runoff from the mountains. Provo officials, led by flood plan manager Jacob O'Bryant, are clearing debris and preparing sandbags to manage the increased water flow. Although no flooding is anticipated, parts of the Provo River Trail are closed as the water level is near its peak. Residents are urged to stay away from the river due to safety concerns, as the swift current poses a risk of sweeping people off their feet.

Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Fight Rescheduled for November 15

The boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has been rescheduled for November 15 at AT&T Stadium due to Tyson's medical issues.
