40 water rescues required in Panama City Beach due to deadly rip currents.
Authorities made 40 water rescues in Panama City Beach on Sunday due to deadly rip currents off the Florida coast.
A rip current forms when a narrow, fast-moving section of water travels in an offshore direction. Rip currents flow away from the shoreline perpendicular to shore, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Panama City Beach Fire Rescue said it was receiving"nonstop calls" for rescues that day and urged people to stay out of the water.
Rip current speeds have been measured as high as 8 feet per second, faster than any Olympic swimmer ever recorded, according to NOAA, which says it's important"not to panic" if you are ever caught in a rip current.
