The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom:

The number of people being monitored for Ebola has been reduced from 100 to 50. The Texas Department of State Health Services says 10 of those people are considered high-risk. And tens of thousands of North Texans are still in the dark after yesterday’s storms. Oncor isn’t saying when power will be fully restored.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
