) - Red flags were flying on Baldwin County beaches Monday, July 10, 2023. The elevated risk of rip currents wasn’t the only danger. Lightning was also an issue for beachgoers when a lightning storm cleared the beach around lunchtime.
“It’s nothing crazy but it’s that surf right around two, two and a half foot where it really makes some of our rip currents the worst,” said Beach Safety Chief for the city of Orange Beach, Brett Lesinger. “The waves aren’t strong enough to intimidate people, but it starts to form those rip currents that are really worrisome.”
“We had a couple little sprinkle sessions…two, and I’m not real worried about it. I think it’s going to go right over us, but no. I think we’re going to be out here a little while longer,” said Jamie Stiff from Kentucky.
