“I’m anticipating that as the storm front rolls in from the west that we’re going to get a really big surf and I might have to go double-red,” Vaughan said. “I know that at some point over the next three days we might have to go double-red and close the water. I’m hoping that I’m wrong.”
Red flags indicate that going into the water is dangerous and could be life-threatening.
“Anytime a beach is flying red flags, knee deep is too deep,” Okaloosa Beach Safety Division Chief Rich Huffnagle said.
Okaloosa County Beach Safety lifeguards were keeping busy calling in swimmers that were too far out from the shore on Okaloosa Island on Tuesday. Lifeguards were also planting red warning flags at areas of the beach with rip currents.

UK and Us Scientists Tackle Antarctic Glacier
British and American scientists are joining forces to research the melting of an Antarctic glacier in what they are calling a race against time.
By Alex Kirby
An international team of scientists is mounting an ambitious research programme to find how soon a vast Antarctic glacier may collapse, with implications for sea levels worldwide.
The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica could significantly affect global sea levels. It already drains an area roughly the size of Britain or the US state of Florida, accounting for around 4% of global sea-level rise, an amount that has doubled since the mid-1990s. Its collapse would destabilise other parts of the ice sheet.

Oklahoma’s Vaughan Insurance Group Merges with Higginbotham February 3, 2021
Higginbotham, an independent insurance firm based in Fort Worth, Texas, and Vaughan Insurance Group, a commercial insurance firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma, have merged operations.
This gives Higginbotham a second location in Oklahoma, where it opened its first out-of-state office in Oklahoma City in 2017. Higginbotham now has offices in nine states.
Higginbotham partnered with Vaughan Insurance Group to help expand and continue building its practice in Oklahoma, which is now a multi-million dollar operation. Vaughan Insurance Group has a similar commitment to personal, local service, and its five-person team will collaborate with Higginbotham’s existing Oklahoma City office to broaden its products and services to provide a single source solution to customers.
