Many of my friends headed to the beach for this holiday weekend. The beach is always a good idea. But this is not your typical weekend for having fun in the sun. Alberto has put a damper on activities.
I'm asking all of you to please be safe. It doesn't matter if you're in Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, Panama City Beach, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores or anywhere else also the Gulf Coast. Red Flags mean stay out of the water! It seems like someone always thinks that the warning flags don't apply to them. They do.
Red Flag warnings have nothing to do with whether you're a strong swimmer or not. It means dangerous rip currents and/or other conditions could take your life. Don't take a chance.
I know you're disappointed but there will likely be other weekends at the beach. Weekends where you can bask in the sun and play in the surf. Just not this weekend. Please remember that your life is worth more than momentary fun. Stay safe!!!
