DOUBLE RED Flags at the beach

[Teresa]

The beach flags for South Walton's beaches will remain DOUBLE RED today. Very dangerous rip currents are forecast to remain for the rest of today. Do not enter the water.

DOUBLE RED FLAG CONDITIONS: WATER IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC

RIP CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROBABILITY AND RIP CURRENT STRENGTH: very high: very high risk of life threatening rip currents means that wind, wave and tidal conditions all support the development of extremely strong and dangerous rip currents. Water is closed to the public.

Some needs to let the folks at Sandestin know this from the looks of the cam there.

Didn't stop people at PC Beach from getting in the water, but the video I saw there earlier was a single red flag, but I stay out of the water then also. When we were down back in June double red flags were out most of the 5 days we were there. People still were in the water and 42 people were pulled from the water on Tuesday alone, and I think two drowned in separate incidents.
