Rip currents blamed in 4 Fla. deaths
Rip currents on Florida shores this week have killed at least four beachgoers, with rescues in the dozens and lifeguards warning spring break crowds to stay out of the water. An 83-year-old woman and an 82-year-old woman who entered the sea to help her died, while others were saved or remained missing. Authorities urge swimmers to exit waves by swimming parallel to shore and emphasize the danger heightened by March crowds.
