520 _a"Rip currents are channels of fast-moving water that can pull even seasoned swimmers away from shore. Panic and exhaustion can cause victims to drown. Rip currents kill an estimated 100 people each year. 'Anyone who swims in the Atlantic or Pacific oceans, Gulf of Mexico, or Great Lakes needs to know what a rip current is capable of and how to react if caught,' said Brig. Gen. David L. Johnson, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), director of NOAA's National Weather Service." (PR NEWSWIRE) This article describes rip currents and discusses how the NOAA monitors them.
