The mayor of Houston has issued a new mandatory evacuation for inundated homes ahead of a power cut-off and a release of water from the city’s reservoirs.
Mayor Sylvester Turner urged the people of West Houston to put their safety first and to flee the area on Saturday, before a planned water release that will continue to keep floods high in about 4,000 homes.
Turner, who didn’t evacuate the nation’s fourth largest city before Harvey’s waters took hold, told the hundreds of people who remained in the flooded area to think of responders who would risk their lives to save them.
The rest of the city is beginning the long clean up of what the catastrophic storm left in its wake, tossing their ruined belongings on the curb to be taken away after 5ft of water devastated much of Houston.
President Trump and Melania returned to the Lone Star State on Saturday, visiting with some of the thousands of people who were left homeless by the storm.
During the president’s visit, Turner said he asked Trump to help in providing transitional housing for those displaced and for federal funds to help with the monstrous cost to rebuild the city.

Trump and Melania flew to Houston on Saturday morning for their second trip to Texas since Hurricane Harvey ravaged the state.
Their first stop was the NRG Stadium in Houston, where thousands are evacuating after being forced out of their homes by the devastating floods brought by Harvey earlier in the week.
Together they gave out Red Cross meal boxes, shook hands and took selfies with some of the thousands who are being forced to take shelter.
President Trump was jovial and upbeat, kissing the heads of babies and holding hands with little boys who strode up to him for a hug. Before taking their places to give out food, the notoriously germaphobic president proclaimed ‘my hands are too big’ as he struggled his fingers in to a pair of latex gloves.
Melania, who received criticism for the glamorous outfit she chose to travel to Texas in earlier in the week, was defiant with her wardrobe choices on Saturday.
She first emerged from the White House in a $1,590 Ralph Lauren dress and $650 pair of Manolo Blahnik heels before changing on board Air Force One into a denim shirt, jeans and sneakers.
After spending time with evacuees at the stadium, the pair went on to a church in Pearland where Trump heaped praise on Texas governor Greg Abbott and congratulated him on doing a ‘terrific job’ since Harvey hit. …..More Here
