Flurry of ocean surf rescues overwhelms Florida lifeguards
BREVARD COUNTY, FLA., POLICE AND FIRE & RESCUE DEPARTMENTS have been pulled off the streets and are assisting the beach patrols. A persistent on-shore wind over the past two days has created so many rip currents that the beach lifeguards have been overwhelmed with rescues. Compounding the troubles is the surf bringing in numerous man-o-wars and sharks to further endanger the swimmers. Orlando Channel 6 has video here.
