Officials: 2 men drown off Panhandle
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Authorities say two tourists from Kentucky and Tennessee drowned off Panhandle beaches after swimming in turbulent waters.
Both men drowned late Monday off Panama City Beach when red flags were flying to warn people to stay out of the rough surf.
Earlier Monday, the state Division of Emergency Management had issued a rip currents warning and urged beachgoers to be careful.
