At Crystal Beach Thursday morning, three young girls in bathing suits who appeared to live nearby, opted for swimsuits instead of golashes and went swimming when Tropical Storm Andrea moved through.

They jumped in the water and played close to shore.

The U.S. Coast Guard is warning people to stay out of the water while Tropical Storm Andrea is impacting the area. The storm is creating dangerous rip tides.
