I subscribe to a weather-related blog, in which the author noted the tragic death of actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who died last weekend after getting caught in a #RipCurrent. The author shared links to a few resources where folks can find information about rip current safety and forecasts in their area. I’m sharing those links below in case it might help someone.

"Couple drowns in rip current while on vacation with their kids in Florida"
😭
These people did not have to die. If you listen to the news piece, you'll learn that they just did not know how to handle a rip current.
Don't fight it!
Don't FUCKING fight it!
You let the current take you out. Then you swim parallel to the shore, and when you're far enough you can swim back to the shore.
They did not have to drown...
