[rkolsen 1684]

WSB the Cox Communications flagship station screwed up big time by reporting that the National Weather Service posted a No Swim Advisiory in Okaloosa and Walton Coutines in he Florida Panhandle for the upcoming 4th of July (one of the few days that I can write dates how I like it as DD/MM/YYYY) weekend. It's worth noting that the NWS does not release any such warnings.

 

WSB's Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns reportedly said "really toxic levels of fecal bacteria," "toxic levels of blue-green algae" and said that it is "very dangerous to swim in these waters. They call tthis, the kind of, flesh-eating bacteria".

 

Because of his reports there have been reports of cancellations over this peak holiday weekend.
