Heed the red flag, folks

This is so sad. Which Ramsgate did this happen at?

why do people always assume they are infalliable?? so so sad that warnings are ignored due to lack of respect for the forces of nature....something to always be aware of!!!! If one is venturing into unknown territory one should always be prepared and knowledgeable of the facts and nuiances of that territory...no matter how beautiful and seductive it may be

Does anyone know the age of the two girls who the Dad was trying to rescue?

The article from the Walton Suns says they were teenagers.

The signs are a good start, but when people arrive at the beach, how likely do you think it is that they will stop to read the signs vs immediately walking on the sand and dipping their feet in the water? After a 9 hour drive, what would you do?

I know those look like LSU colored flags, but they are really yellow and purple, not gold, even though they look gold colored. I should note that this flag is at WaterColor, and since it isn't a public access, I'm not sure if the SWFD is in charge of it. In fairness to the SWFD, this photo was taken the morning after the Seagrove fire, so flags were probably not on the top of the FD's list to change.

No jellies were present at this stretch of beach and the water was smooth as glass with no currents

OK- I have looked and looked for jellyfish and I guess they are totally staying away from the area in Seagrove in front of my mom's. So despite the purple flag, we have been swimming!
