The power of water is so scary as someone who lived through a whirlpool i can tell you the fear you feel when being dragged under water is unfathomable. My advice from my own personal experience, is to let the water take you don't fight it!! let it push you where it's going to push you and when you get the opportunity swim is hard as you can for the shore or low lying tree limbs. Dont fight the water save your strength and keep calm if you keep a level head your chances of survival increase greatly! Also protect your head and keep your feet in front of you. God be with everyone who is affected by this hurricane!

If they die then people blame search and rescue for not getting there fast enough because its not like emergency services are stretched thin and far as it is.

The surfer 🏄‍♂️ 😂 “Yeah ya gotta be safe with these killer waves out here man!” With his wet suit and serf board. 😂 I live in England and one day it was so windy on the beach it was like a sandstorm, I could hardly breath or see, nobody else is on the beach, I knew I needed to not be there too. Then I see some dude with his wet suit and board all alone on an empty beach in killer conditions sprinting to the sea like a mad man. These surfers are something else.
