Seems about right. I seen on the morning news, that a swimmer disappeared in the rip current, just yesterday. At Carolina Beach, near Wilmington.
On another note, the OP brings back a fun memory, from the year I moved down here from Ohio. In '03, I was at a sports bar on the NC/SC State line watching the game. I was out of the house too much to justify the price of cable, and it seemed like the best place to see the OSU-NC State game.
As fate would have it, the entire joint turned to look at me, as I strutted in with my Buckeye T-shirt on. It was a big game, at the time, as NC State was pretty good, with Phillip Rivers as their QB. So, I order a beer and some wings, and proceed to watch the game. Any time the OSU did anything good, I let a little enthusiasm escape, and the entire bar would glare at me. Then, any time that NC State would do anything good, the entire bar would erupt in a roaring cheer, and then proceed to glare at me.. Fate happened to be on my side that day, as OSU won. Feeling the saltiness of the crew nearest me, I bought them a round of shots, and made some drinkin' buddies.
