episode_narrativeStrong rip currents persisted across the east-central Florida waters in the aftermath of Hurricane Earl. Rough surf on September 1 and 2 kept most swimmers out of the ocean, but once swell heights lessened and more swimmers entered the water, life guards rescued several hundred people who became caught in rip currents. One drowning and one serious injury resulted from the rip currents in Volusia County.
