This #WeatherReady Wednesday, learn how to survive a rip current: Stay calm and relax. Rip currents don't pull you under. Don't swim against the current. You may be able to escape by swimming out of the current in a direction following the shoreline, or toward breaking waves, then at an angle toward the beach. If you feel you will be unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself. Call and wave for assistance. weather.gov/safety/ripcurrent #SpringSafety #BeachSafety
