Rip Currents Kill More Than Tornadoes | Raleigh News

Published 1 day, 11 hours ago
Description

Rip currents are deadly underwater rivers pulling swimmers away from shore — more lethal than floods or tornadoes in the Carolinas, claiming nearly 200 lives since 2000. They move like Olympic swimmers and trap victims who try to swim back head-on. Don’t fight them — swim parallel to shore or toward breaking waves. Float, tread water, and wave for help. If you see someone struggling, call 911 or grab a floating object — don’t jump in. Watch for red flags: high threat means stay out. Check forecasts before you go, know the signs, and stay safe.
