UPDATE: Two men have died after being pulled from the water on April 8th in Miramar Beach. One is a 55-year-old from Dunwoody, Georgia. The other is a 21-year-old from Gray, Louisiana.
During these water rescues, the flags stood at single red. That still indicates the water as an incredible threat to human life with high surf and strong rip currents. Know that just because we cannot keep you out of the Gulf during single red, does not mean you should be in it. Mother nature can be very unforgiving.
This is a difficult post for us. We know there are families still grieving. But, we're begging visitors to please continue to educate themselves regarding the flag system. We will continue to do our part.
