One surfer helped get the woman onto his surfboard, and Jacksonville Beach lifeguards helped bring the woman out of the rough waters generated by the deadly hurricane.
On 9/3/19 at 7:59 PM EDTA woman reportedly jumped off a Florida pier into the Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday afternoon as outer winds from Hurricane Dorian pelted the coast and sent waves crashing ashore. Nearby surfers in Jacksonville Beach enjoying the heavy waves saw the woman struggle in a tough undertow, and then helped rescue her.reported that a woman sauntered down the Jacksonville Beach Pier and shimmied her way past a locked gate. There, sat at the end of the pier for several hours.
Sebring got fellow surfer Ty Miller's attention to come watch the woman so he could call Ocean Rescue. As the rescue vehicles came racing to the scene from all directions, the woman jumped into the choppy, white-capped sea, at which point she went limp in the water. Despite the warnings by Ocean Rescue and their urgency for beachgoers to stay out of the water, another 50 or so people made their way back into the Atlantic shortly thereafter. Though many got out of the water after heeding the lifeguard advisory from a megaphone, the lifeguards had to go tell three people still in the water to get out.
