Florida beach now deadliest in US this year after 3 more drownings

Panama City Beach in Florida is now the deadliest in the U.S. so far in 2023 after three more deaths this past weekend.Despite double red flag warnings, which mean no swimming is allowed in the Gulf, heavy rip currents led to the three drownings and dozens of rescues. National Weather Service statistics show that Panama City has had seven rip current-related deaths in the past nine days, more surf zone fatalities than any other beach in the U.
