woman drowns in Blue Mountain Beach: 8/15/06

[Smiling JOe]

Everything about it seemed very hush, hush. Not too dissimilar to the recent wreck on 98/395. Not much for information in the paper and I searched the local news/tv stations, without luck.

Very odd

could it have been a cover up to save embarassment to the family due to circumstances unknown to us?

I have heard mention of an unhealthy lady/Red tide????

I was curious because I want to know if there are any risks that we should be aware of (other than regular beach safety -- e.g., don't swim alone, watch for rip tides, etc.), especially since it was a green flag day. I couldn't find anything mentioned in the Walton Sun.

Red tide can be very serious to those with lung problems.....

 

[Teresa]

haven't heard anything about red tide recently...

A friend of mine that works out on the beach everyday swears it is here. Very mild but he gets sick in the morning on his run at the beach.....

We were there August 17 - 25 and didn't notice anything in the Seacrest area. Water clear, air seemed clear. But we aren't sensitive to that kind of thing, though, so we may not have noticed if it was mild.

when there is red tide, you can't not know its there. it really makes you feel like you have an allergy or cold, much coughing, etc. but when you leave the beach area, it completely goes away. I haven't experienced it all summer. perhaps if its very mild, then maybe you have to be ON the beach to experience it. Typically, you just have to be somewhere near the beach - like shopping in Seaside...
