A South Texas town may have just seen the hottest May temperature in Texas history š„µ
While it was hot in San Antonio on Thursday, it was downright sweltering in deep South Texas, where the temperatures were mind-blowing, with several spots jumping above 110 degrees.
Not only was it hot, it was also extremely humid. According to the Weather Prediction Center, La Puerta, Texas, just west of the Rio Grande Valley population center, reached 116 degrees on Thursday. That wasĀ easilyĀ the hottest place in the country.
It may have set even more records, however. Looking through historical data, the 116-degree reading may have set the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in May in Texas. This will have to be verified. Keep in mind that Texasās all-time hottest temperature on record is 120 degrees set in Seymour and Monahans.
| CITY | TEMPERATURE | DATE |
|---|---|---|
| SEYMOUR | 120Ā° | 8/12/1936 |
| MONAHANS | 120Ā° | 6/28/1994 |
| RIO GRANDE VILLAGE | 119Ā° | 6/24/2023 |
| QUANNAH | 119Ā° | 6/28/1994 |
| GUTHRIE | 119Ā° | 6/28/1994 |
Regardless, the heat yesterday across South Texas was dangerous.
In Brownsville, a record-high temperature of 104 degrees translated to a heat index of 129 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Harlingen reached a peak heat index of 128 degrees, while McAllenās feels-like temperature peaked at 124 degrees.
Thankfully, a front brought relief on Friday. Cooler and wetter weather is expected over the weekend.

A man in Texas, suspicious about his newly acquired truck, decided to take a look inside. To his surprise, he found a GPS tracker that was monitoring his every move. As expected, people online reacted as they normally do: a collective meltdown.
The man in question is none other than David Allen, also known as ToTouchAnEmu. He is a very popular content creator who has over 9.8 million followers on TikTok alone.
And while he shares a wide variety of content, one of his latest videos addresses this apparent breach of privacy. He detailed how he was surprised and overwhelmed as he went through the terms and conditions after purchasing his new truck.

His dealer had signed him up and paid for a one-year subscription to CarRx, a platform and mobile app that monitors vehicles’ data. David, however, was not too thrilled to find out exactly what that meant.
Tracking Everything
For starters, he showed that, under the terms and conditions, CarRx would sell all collected information to third parties. David was not too worried about that.
Instead, he showed all the data that the platform collects from vehicles. Understandably, he was shocked.
Monitored information includes the car’s VIN, mileage, oil and battery status, fuel, and charging history. The platform can also track a vehicle’s location, speed, crash detection alerts, braking events, and even camera image and sensor data.
Finding the Tracker
David, still astounded by the revelation, knew that something was fishy. He asked, “I start thinking, how do they know all that information about my carĀ if they don’t have some sort of GPS tracker on it?”

And to no one’s surprise, and thanks to a Google search, it turns out that there was, in fact, a tracker installed in David’s truck. And not willing to let it slide, the man got to work immediately.
The Texas man searched for the tracker near the OBD port. He noticed a Y-cable right below it and found the tracker connected to it. The tracker had an IMEI, meaning that it had a SIM card in it, so tracking is pretty much a guarantee.
Viewers React Accordingly
Of course, David’s video caused a multitude of reactions. Some took issue with how he labeled his SUV a truck, but most viewers were worried about their privacy.
“We need data privacy laws stat!” one said. Another one commented, “This isn’t new, unfortunately. I used to work for GM; they track everything. In real time.”

The latter comment seemed to echo the majority of reactions. Other users, former car dealership employees themselves, said the exact same thing.Ā
