Safety tips
- •Summer storms can flood streets fast — avoid driving through standing water.
- •Stay hydrated; humidity makes the heat feel worse than the number.
- •Use rail and rideshare; the city is spread out and car-dependent.
Scam warnings
- •Skip unofficial 'event parking' on private lots near NRG.
- •Buy SIM cards from carrier stores, not flea-market stalls.
