10:00 a.m. Press Conference

"We have no evidence that the water supply is contaminated." -- Mayor Bill White

However, Mayor White is repeating that residents need to conserve water and drink bottled water.

A pump at one of the water stations has gone down.

Judge Emmett is asking that residents verify with local officials that it is safe to re-enter evacuation zones.

Going to the courtyard now to take some pictures.

I just sent a comment but it apparently didn't go. So if this hits twice, I aplogize.

Seeing some incredible pictures from Galveston and Baytown. The report shows live but I am not sure.

Centerpoint is reporting 2 million people without electricity. Saying it could be weeks before service is restored. Television is telling people not to return for a while.

The JP Morgan-Chase building had all of its windows blown out. Karma?

We are getting some heavy mist but no wind.

A reporter is at Texas and Travis streets and there is someones desktop laying in the middle of the sidewalk. Incredible amount of trash and debris on the street.
