DESTIN, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say two swimmers and a kayakerdrowned off Panhandle beaches over the Easter weekend.
The Destin Fire Control District says 39-year-old Joseph Jones
from Riverdale, Ga., died Friday after going into the water off
Destin to help others caught in a rip current. The others survived.
An unidentified airman stationed at Eglin Air Force Base drowned
later Friday after being caught in a rip current also off Destin

his brother-in-law.
Authorities say red flags warning beach goers to stay out of the
water because of the rip currents flew throughout the weekend.
