Thank you, 705 67 89 heavy rain and winds last night, they left a mess which are out there looking on the roadways, steve, dealing with . To cherry hill, steve keeley standing by there, what are you seeing, me . From the east side to the west side at cherry hill they got wallopped. Police say it was wild night. Look at the huge tree across laugh early drive. That explains why pse g is out here. Because that tree likely had some casino of responsibility for pulling the power lines down, and lets show you some video that we have.

We are waiting for the rest of this family siding and rain spots, see all of the electric wires, all of the cable wires still dangling in the street as both the Cable Company and the Cable Company with the police trying to figure out where do we begin with this mess here in cherry hill. Guys . All right, 7 06. Steve, we check back with you, pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf makes a big announcement yesterday. About his health. Hes being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Listen. Because i had routine checkup, it was detected early so i can do something about it so i want to make sure that this is an example why routine checkups actually matter and make a difference. Boy, sure do. It was routine checkup that led to the Prostate Cancer diagnosis for our good friend, Steve Morrison of mmr over at preston and steve. His doctors, matter of fact, talk to him about it was doctor mike. Steve you and i at event saturday . Talking about this very topic how you got diagnosed. What was it, a blood test . Psa test which is the only thing, and doctor mike can verify, as well, only thing of the err ray of tests i was getting any indication i had something going on, and it is a blood test, it is acinal blood test thats the test that saved my life. I had no symptoms of anything. Pretty much, nothing, nothing going on, just that checkup that indicated it, and when that is happening, and youre not symptomatic of anything, chances are youre out ahead of it. Very manageable. Very manageable, doctor mike, and no excuse for any of us guys not to get this blood test. What would be the treatment for Governor Wolf, doctor mike . Well, if it is caught early, like it sounds like it is, then there are all kind of options. He can elect to have his prostate taken out, like steve did, thats kind of the Gold Standard of treatment. Codo radiation. And some people think that might be what he is going to do because he said the treatment will go on for several months as opposed to just going in, having it taken out, and then end of the story. But there are also people who elect to just watch and wait and see how it goes. So, steve why did you make the decision you did . I was never a fan of im considered, believe it or not, youngerish, in the age range of people who get Prostate Cancer. Even though i understand doctor mike maybe you can verify this that it is actually shifting down little bit. But i felt i wasnt a fan of having cancer in my body. Right. And every time i took a meal or something that i was also feeding that, that was in me, and i wanted it out. I didnt want any possible issue at all, and it is the kind of cancer that can basically be extracted in one shot. And it was. And ive been my psa level has been undetectable since getting the operation thats been over a year now. So doctor mike, for steve, i mean, is he in the clear now . I think hes going to live to 110 to be honest with you. I always give all of my patient a 30 day warantee. But he is cancer free. Now, for a lot of people out there, doctors, in particular, there is a lot of controversy about the psa, i believe personally and professionally it is a very important test, and if you are out there listening, you need to do two things, when you go to your doctor, have whats called digital rectal exam to see if there are any nodules on the prostate, and you need to talk with your doctor about the psa. I am a believer it is a piece of data. And in the case of steve, i believe, it saved his life. Listen, you cant tell whether a Prostate Cancer is going to be life threatening or not bother you at all and you will die from something else. Now willing to take that racing. You know yesterday, Governor Wolf has cancer, oh, my god, are you kidding mement and then go well it is Prostate Cancer. Things improve so much with Prostate Cancer, that we can casino of relax when we hear thats what it is. Doctor mike . I dont think anyone should relax, amazing new treatments coming along, we have robotic surgery that steve underwent i was out in a day or two going hiking. One night in the hospital and i was up walking an hour and a half after the surgery. So the thing is, the only thing you need to fear is fear itself. Weve heard about that before. You do the right thing. If you are a man, you man up. Go to the doctor. You get your exam. Up get your testing. If you have it, you deal with it, and you look as good as steve. Steve, how has it changed your life . First big pro pope and the of paying it forward, such a positive thing store to spread, mike, that if you get proactive, there are people, no one need die of this if they just take the precaution every getting the checkup as it was discovered with Governor Wolf, as with me, simple blood test it, saved my life. Doctor mikes goal and my goal from here on in would be to get the word out. Dont be scared. Dont be frighten, very positive thing that can happen. I am here to a test to it. I know your awe busy on your radio show this time of morning, we appreciate your time. Thank you. Doctor mike, we love you, of course. Thank you. Steve, say hi to doctor shivers for me. He is scaring the hell out of my life at home, thank you. Talk to you later guys. There you go. Governor tom wolf. Lauren, your turn.

Up in the poconos mountains as well as salem county, and gloucester and camden count any southern new jersey, so you see why the flood warnings are still in effect, flooding lingers even after the rain ends.

Exactly 7 15, sue, on a thursday morning. Accident on the 42 freeway. Northbound in toward philadelphia. We are bumper to bumper from the black horse pike all the way up to the ramps for 295.

You are going to find some debris though out your front door, the driveway, some of the on and offramps from the result of last nights major storm that rolled throughment the power issues also continue on the Paoli Thorndale line. Some of the inbound trains will be short some cars. So could be little overcrowding coming into center city on that line. Weather delays expected, at Philadelphia International airport, as they try to recover from the storms last night. A lot of concellations, and flights were rerouted so check with the airline before you head down to the airport. Also, eastbound on the schuylkill, volume between conshy and belmont. Gladwynn onramp has some flooding and some debris. Lincoln drive was flooded out earlier this morning at both rittenhouse and forbidden drive. There is a lot of debris, also, along the lincoln drive. Brooklawn circle, where 47 and 130 casino of come together. Watch for high water there. And also, mt. Laurel, new jersey, hainesport and grant, dealing with some downed wires. I95 southbound, jammed up with a accident at cottman. And watch for those big craters, in the work zones, plus, the construction signs, the high winds, have knocked over a lot of those signs that didnt have the sandbags to keep them in place. Almost like taking the driving test again this morning, mike and alex, back over to you. Okay, well, villanova couldnt pull off that big win in cincinnati last night against xavier. Yep, they lost number five xavier, 90 to 83. Now there is only three games left in the season before the biggies tournament. Hey, matt cord is here to talk hoops. You know all about hoops. I love villanova. I do, too really rooting for them. I predicted they werent going to be able to do it. I blame you then. Blame me. I put out negative energy yesterday. They are really good team, arent they . At least you know how to say xavier and not x xavier. Gentlemen task to somebody in the lobby who works now. Dont call us out. Who works for us . X xavier, his name is chris. Oh. Last name murphy . Okay, okay. No, like we were just talking before we went on, tough place to win. Always has been. Yes. And villanovas ranked number one, xavier number five. They played them back on new years eve here in philly. Villanova beat them by 31point. So revenge game. Xavier didnt have their best player. Last night i think he was six rebounds, so the kid is a stud. It is one lost, will it knock villanova out . Sure it, will but theyll be top five. They got three games left against people they can beat. Can beat georgetown, can beat die paul, then the biggies tournament which they will go far. They can actually play xavier again in the torn. Probably will. And then sunday two, weeks from sunday, so, villanova still has good shot to be number one seed. Okay. And number one seed in the east. And the east will start in brooklyn at the barkley center. And then move to philadelphia. Right. Next rounds. Sweet 16. Sadly i believe if you play at least three games at the Wells Fargo Center you cant be sent to that region. , no you can if you play four, thats why they purposely only play three games. Oh, it is four . Yes. Villanova purposely scheduled usually four, five games at the wells fargo there is year, you know, sweet 16, lead eight be there there, only scheduled three. So they play there. What you are telling me is this . If they can hang on to the number one seed, villanova. In the glees would go to brooklyn. And then come home to the Wells Fargo Center and those games would be for Catholic University good friday, and easter sunday. Oh,. How cool would that be . Come on, lord. Oh. Here is the problem with villanova. They dont know the last two years they havent gotten past the first weekend . One and done. Last year number one seed, lose to North Carolina state. Two years ago number two seed, lost to uconn. So they have to get past. Pick up the defense, defense kind of lacking. They got foul trouble last night, they shot poorly, all of the things do you to lose a game. Now, alex, always says to me. What . We talk so much about villanova. Do you see what st. Joes is doing. Cant leave st. Joes out now. You cant. There is a shot. St. Joes will probably make the tournament like eight, nine seed. There is a shot st. Joes could be in that east bracket in brooklyn and the two of them could play each other. Oh, would that be something . Tell me this, matt cord. Whats that, mike . Werent doesnt sane joe joes the fantastic record crack the top 25 . Because theyre st. Joes. Dont get the National Like villanova. St. Joes with jameer nelson, gentlemen, west, number one. Sports illustrated. I think i had to go to a wed that saturday when they were playing really we
