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.
