GREENSBORO, N.C. — North Carolina continues to experience these dangerous conditions.
With the ongoing rip current risk, the North Carolina Weather Service has some tips to keep you and your family safe.
If you're caught in a rip current, you should try your hardest to stay calm. The last thing you want to do is fight against the current.
If you're a strong swimmer, swim out of the current in a direction parallel to the shoreline or try to float and get the attention of lifeguards or people on shore.
If you see someone in trouble, you don't want to try to save them by yourself. Get help form a lifeguard or call for help.
You can also try to throw something that floats, to help the struggling swimmer.
