Florida visitors
The importance of educating oneself on beach flag meanings and safety precautions in Florida.
#Florida #BeachSafety #PublicService #Awareness #WaterSafety
Well, howdy there internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we're gonna do another public service announcement
also about flags, but this time not about heat in Texas.
It's gonna be about water in Florida.
We're doing it because it's that time of year
and a whole bunch of people are coming down to Florida.
Okay, we have five flags in Florida.
Three make sense because they're everywhere,
Green, yellow, and red, right?
Green is relatively safe.
Red means don't go in the water.
It's Florida.
They don't put up a red flag over nothing.
The surf is rough.
The currents are high and strong, so avoid those.
When you are, when you're out on the beach
and that red flag is out there
and the only locals you see are people on surfboards,
don't get in the water, okay?
We also have a double red flag.
That means don't get in the water
or the cops are showing up.
The law gets involved.
Um, I want you to think about the state itself.
Florida, man, this is not a state known
for safety regulations.
And it is certainly not a state known
for safety regulations to the point
the law shows up on jet skis or boats or a helicopter. They do that because if you
go out there with those kind of currents, you might not come back. That has happened
to about 10 people in my neck of the woods over the last five or six days.
People come down here for fun, have fun, okay? But those flags, please pay
attention to them. We also have a purple one and that is I think it's dangerous
marine life is what it really means. In my area it means you're about to get
tore up by jellyfish. The red flags understand a red flag can go to a
double red flag very very very quickly. If you do not know how to handle the
currents and stuff like that it can go real bad real quick. It can go real
pad real quick if you do know. So there's that. The other thing is Gators happens
every year. When you come to Florida just assume that every single body of water
from the pool at the Airbnb that you rented to the the landscaping by your
your hotel, any body of water. It has a gator in it until you have confirmed
otherwise. Something that happens every single year is somebody is walking their
dog near near a shoreline and the puppy does not go home. Every year it happens
and then sometimes it's it's people who are messing around in water that they
shouldn't be. So, yet another public service, you know, announcement, but given
the frequency that it's occurring, maybe it should happen more often. These flags,
they're explained on the beach. There's a sign and everything. The thing is, it's
Florida. The sign may be covered up with graffiti, or they put it like on the
flagpole which is up in the dunes and you're not allowed to go up there so you
can't see it. Just red flag, double red flag, just stay out of the water. It's
really that simple. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
