A Georgia tourist and visitor from Texas drowned over the weekend, while another tourist from Alabama drowned early Monday morning in Panama City Beach.

Double red flags are still flying high, and the rough water has something to do with Tropical Storm Edouard passing by the area.

As always, beach goers need to keep an eye out for dangerous swimming conditions.

As storms pass near the area, the ocean is filled with heavy rip currents and undertows.

As Tropical Storm Edouard passed by the Panama City Beach area, he left behind some rough waters.

Deputy Chief David Humphreys of the Panama City Beach Police says, "We’ve been flying double red flags now for about the last week; certainly the presence of Tropical Storm Edouard is helping to further the problems we've had."

In the past two days, three people have drowned in Panama City Beach, each visiting Florida for vacation.

Law enforcement is on the lookout telling tourists to stay out of the water during double red flags, and it’s also up to the locals to get the word out.

"Tourists may not be sitting in front of the TV, but they have radios so they can hear those warnings. It’s all about preventing rather than having to react to a bad situation," says Humphreys.

Aside from looking at double red flags, taking a peek at the water is enough to tell you that it’s not safe to swim.

"The water is rough, but it’s rougher than it looks because of the undertows and rip currents," Humphreys adds.

And even though swimming may be off limits, tourists are finding other ways to make the best out of their vacation.

"There’s a lot of sunshine, and the ocean is beautiful. So, we have just been walking and meeting people and hanging out by the pool. There is a lot of stuff to do," says Lisa Jony, a Georgia resident.

"We swim in our hotel's pool. We don’t really like the taste of the ocean," Sabolia Arms, an Illinois resident said.

Despite the double red flag warnings, some people were still trying to going into the water.

Officials are urging the public to take these warnings seriously. They are out there for your safety.

Tropical storm Edouard is now bearing down on Texas and Louisiana.
