Beach Warning Flags DANGEROUS MARINE LIFE



Last Wednesday, My Mom, Kobe, Oakley, Andrew (my nephew), and myself went down to Panama City beach for a few days. Unfortunately, we witnessed 2 people drown. It is something I never want to see again. There were 2 red flags flying, which means water closed to the public. We did not know that and we were in the water like the other people at the beach. When there are 2 red flags that means there are strong rip currents and it is not safe at all to be in the water. Just a warning-check the flags when you go to the beach!!!!!
The 2 that drowned was a 54 year old male and a 43 year old female that were engaged. The ladies daughter who is 15 was on the beach waiting for them to come back in from swimming. We had to stay around after it happened and be witnesses for the police. Also, something I never want to do again.
I really wish that Kobe, Andrew, and Oakley didn't have to see it. The next day we were over at our neighbors when Ryan saw Kobe trying to give their dog CPR! Later that night I asked Kobe what he was doing to Coco(the dog). Kobe said that Coco looked sleepy and needed help. Needless to say, we had a good little talk about all that happened.
