"Galveston has been hit hard," Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas said. "We have no power. We have no gas. We have no communications. We're not sure when any of that will be up and running."Thomas said residents who evacuated should not even think about coming home now."Do not come back to Galveston," she said. "You cannot live here at this time.""It is pretty obvious that there is substantial and long-term damage done to Galveston Island," Gov. Rick Perry said.The West End was particularly hard hit."The devastation was horrendous," Galveston City Manager Steve LeBlanc said. "I counted at least 30 homes that were out in the water. I saw homes that were picked up off the piling and set down alongside the piling. I saw massive erosion that's occurred and tons and tons of debris."
