CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Double red flags fly on Alabama beaches

(CBS, KYMA/KECY) – The National Weather Service (NWS) warned that dangerous waves and life-threatening rip currents would impact the Alabama coast as a potential tropical cyclone churned into the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday June 19.

Waters from Gulf Shores to Panama City, Florida, were closed to swimmers Tuesday, according to local reports.

Footage taken by @TheCrackerBrief shows double red flags flying across Gulf Shores Wednesday morning, warning swimmers to stay away.

“Stay out of the water this week,” the NWS urged.
