Rip Currents

This was a weekend we were warned about. In fact, I was planning to take my girls swimming but decided not to because the warnings really ramped up. The rip currents became deadly and rescue teams could not keep up.

To help locals enjoy some swimming at the Jersey Shore, lifeguards will be on duty during September weekends at Island Beach State Park.

A man paragliding in the waters hovering the Keansburg beach needed to be airlifted to the hospital after an accident on Wednesday.

For the second time this week Seaside Heights, Seaside Park and Lavallette water rescue teams were called to a beach in SSH to make a rescue from swimmers getting caught in rip currents.

We've been telling you how dangerous the rip currents are right now in the Ocean due to Hurricane Maria out in the Atlantic. If you don't believe us....Here is video from yesterday of three people rescued from the brave lifeguards of Belmar...

Sorry I had to be so direct and to the point, but there are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS rip currents in the Atlantic Ocean....And people are dying!!!
