A Pennsylvania couple drowned in a rip current while on vacation in Florida with their six children, according to authorities.
Awful way to go. Stay safe out there, folks.
Yeah, they’re usually marked, but ocean temp changes a lot of shit and you can run across ones with zero signage.
I’d imagine Florida is especially bad because they refuse to believe in climate change and anything connected to it.
So I can see them defunding the organizations meant to keep this updated and people safe

I will never understand people’s strong desire to live or vacation near the ocean. You pay a massive premium just to live on “the coast”, with the ever present threat of hurricanes for what? Some sounds and breeze?
People will arrange their vacations so that they can visit the ocean, for what? Unless you’re a surfer or something, it’s boring, it’s just another body of water with an increased risk of death or injury by various means.
I’m not even one of those that’s afraid of the ocean or anything, I’ve been in it, I left in less than an hour because it’s boring AF. It’s much more fun to go to a water park or even just a public pool, hell your city might even have a public water park/pool like mine does.
with the ever present threat of hurricanes
That may be true for Florida, but that’s not really relevant for northern California/PNW/many, many other parts of the world…
