Answer

When a storm is approaching, it's crucial to stay off the beach. High winds and rough seas can create dangerous conditions, including strong rip currents and large waves. • Always pay attention to local weather alerts and heed any warnings from lifeguards or officials. They're there to keep you safe and will often close the beach if conditions are too risky. • If you're already at the beach when a storm hits, seek shelter immediately and avoid staying in sandy or exposed areas. Moving to a nearby building or designated safe area is the best option.
