How to protect your vehicle from the Texas heat this summer
SUMMARY: Summertime in Texas brings extreme heat and severe weather, making car maintenance vital for safe road travel. Key vehicle checks include tire condition, wiper blades, lights, and battery health. Heat can cause tire blowouts and battery failure, so regular inspections are essential. Ensure wipers and lights function well, especially for navigating storms. Monitor coolant and Freon levels to prevent overheating. Don't neglect brake maintenance, checked during oil changes. Essential items for emergencies include a first aid kit, jumper cables, a spare gas container, an air compressor, extra phone chargers, and spare headlights or blinkers to ensure visibility and safety.

How to escape a dangerous rip current
SUMMARY: Rip currents pose the greatest danger to beachgoers, accounting for most beach rescues annually. Recently, six people drowned in Florida due to rip currents, highlighting their threat. Around 100 drownings occur yearly in the U.S. because of rip currents, with over 80% of rescues involving them. Rip currents are narrow, fast-flowing water channels moving away from the beach and can be hard to detect. Swimmers caught in rip currents should avoid panic, swim parallel to the shore, and seek lifeguard assistance. The National Weather Service and NOAA have developed early warning systems to predict rip current conditions up to six days in advance.
