The Houston Texans delayed the start of their Organized Team Activities (OTAs) due to flooding in the Houston area following a heavy rainstorm on Memorial Day.

The Texans were scheduled to open their OTA on Tuesday, but pushed it to Wednesday with the southwest Houston area reportedly hit with up to nine inches of water. Nearly 60,000 Houston residents were reportedly without power as of Tuesday morning.

“Stay safe, Houston,” the Texans posted on their Twitter feed Tuesday morning.

About 350 fans at the Houston Rockets’ victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night were forced to stay at the arena following the game due to the storm. Rockets center Dwight Howard also stayed at the Toyota Center as the rain continued to fall, per the Houston Chronicle.

“There’s no need to try to push it,” Howard said. “One of my friends just hit me up and said he’s stuck on the highway now. I don’t think it’s smart for anybody to try to be out on this weather.”
