I'm not super close to the beach, more inland, but the same is being said here as with where Hippo is at.  They are saying 3 foot swells and encouraging the dim bulbs to stay out of the water (duh). 

I feel for everyone hit by this tragedy.  Really sad and, as Peach pointed out, certainly puts things into perspective.

They're idiots, which I don't necessarily find offensive. But I do find it offensive that they think I'm an idiot and would believe what they're saying.
