🌀 This is the last day of Carolinas Rip Current Awareness Week. Sometimes the worst rip current days occur with the best weather. Never assume that the ocean is safe, even if the weather is nice. Check out this great article from NHC: noaanhc.wordpress.com/2025/04/30/r.... #BeachSafety #ncwx #scwx

🏖️ It’s Carolinas Rip Current Awareness Week! It can be difficult to spot rip currents. It is best to get an elevated vantage point and look for common clues: areas where waves are not breaking, a channel of choppy water, or a difference in water color. weather.gov/ilm/ripcurrents #BeachSafety

One of my favorite cloud pictures I've taken - gorgeous cumulonimbus, anvil cloud, and some knuckles under anvil. Taken in Ocean Isle Beach last May.
