That's got to be quite a stretch. We're not having anything but mildly gusty conditions and fairly light rain so far.

Fox likes to make headlines. Especially since the Jackson trial is on hold with the jury. A 24 hours news cycle needs material.

It was the reason

College student dies after being caught in rip tides off Miami Beach

By SARA BLUMENTHAL

sblumenthal@herald.com

A college exchange student drowned early Friday when she got caught in a rip tide off the coast of Miami Beach.

Four college students from Russia were walking along Miami Beach when they decided to go into the water off 16th Street in Miami Beach. Three of the young women immediately came out because of the roughness of the surf. However, the fourth woman had ventured further into the water and was caught in the rip tide. One of her companions tried to rescue her only to be caught by the tide as well.

CNN is showing video of the scene now. Fire Rescue swimmers went in the water after 2 women, saving one and the other one drowned. The rip currents were so bad that Coast Guard rescue swimmers had to go in and pull the Fire Rescue swimmers out. Very sad.
