Do you remember these record-setting temps during the summer of 1980? After hearing several comparisons this year, I spent the day digging through the @NBCDFW archives to give you a look back. Check it out at 10.

I need massive mutual aid at least 12 ambulance to respond to a Perryton TX. We have massive damage over 50+ homes destroyed and heavy damage downtown. #txwx

VIDEO: “Let go of my daughter. Now.”

Crowley couple fought off a man who they say tried to kidnap their daughter from their home.

Carlos Ortiz says the suspect asked him about his truck, if he was selling. Then grabbed his daughter @NBCDFW

Yesterday, families from Uvalde tried to meet with Calendars committee members. Mostly met by staffers.

Remarkable discovery! See the hidden diaries of the North Texan who helped bring Nazi leaders to justice after WW II. Excited to share this exclusive story on @NBCDFW at 10. @dhhrm_org #history

Be like Alaric. Ask yourself, is it worth it? If not, stay safe and off the roads. #NBCDFWWeather

RIGHT NOW: We’re in Grand Prairie where a search is underway. Sources say a body has been found but local authorities are deferring to Collin County for details… the agency investigating the disappearance of Kayla Kelley. https://t.co/SppSP26pFu @NBCDFW

[ScottGordon @ScottGordonDFW]

NEW: Embattled Uvalde police chief Pete Arredondo has been fired. @NBCDFW

[NBC DFW @NBCDFW]

The @CityofFortWorth Animal Shelter took in nearly 1,700 surrenders in just a matter of weeks. NBC 5's @PhotoMikeO got a closer look at the growing problem animal shelters across North Texas are dealing with. https://t.co/dr0o9sIxZG #ClearTheShelterDFW

Do you have any information on the whereabouts of #VanessaGuillen?

20yr old soldier from Houston vanishes while assigned to Fort Hood. She left behind keys & wallet.

She’s been missing since 4/22/20.

#FindVanessaGuillen

[Clay Lewis Jenkins @JudgeClayJ]

.@DCHHS reports 298 cases and 7 deaths. Today’s new number of #COVID19 cases ties with the highest day thus far, but keep in mind that we have more testing capability this week and that will continue to ramp up.
