When you have a kitty or a doggo, you’re almost sure there’s something special waiting for you at home. A pup that’s terrified when he sees you in a bath for the first time, a cat that won’t stop walking on its hind legs, and a dog that’s just crazy about… fresh carrots.

Family Vacation Turns Nightmare: Parents of 6 Die in Rip Current Disaster
A Pennsylvania c
ouple sadly lost their lives while on vacation in Florida with their six children, after being caught in a rip current.
Brian Warter, 51, and Erica Wishart, 48, were swimming with two of their teenage children on Hutchinson Island on June 20 when they got caught in the dangerous current.
The teenagers managed to make it to safety, but their parents were unable to escape the strong ocean waves.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office shared details about the tragic event. The statement said that the teenagers tried hard to save their parents but couldn’t fight the powerful current. Emergency services arrived quickly and started rescue efforts. Sadly, even after being taken to a nearby hospital, Brian and Erica were pronounced dead by the doctors.
Phillyburbs.com reported that the water conditions were very dangerous that Tuesday afternoon. Red flags were flying at the beach to warn swimmers about the risky rip tides, according to Cory Pippen from Martin County Fire Rescue. These flags are meant to alert people about dangerous water conditions like strong rip currents.
Larry Warter, Brian’s father, told CBS 12 News that Brian and Erica had been together for over a year and were engaged to be married. Erica was a mother of four, and Brian had two children. The couple planned to wait until all their kids finished college before getting married. Their trip to Stuart, Florida, was a big event for them.
“They were so excited about this trip,” Larry Warter said. “It was their first time taking all six kids on vacation together. They had been planning it for over a month.”
Brian Warter’s parents shared their deep love for the couple. Larry Warter said, “You could clearly see the love between Brian and Erica if you were around them.” Susie Warter, Brian’s mother, mentioned that everyone who knew the couple loved them, and there was great excitement about their future together.
The Warter family has received a lot of support from their community. “We’ve been overwhelmed by the offers of help and support. We thought we were going through this alone, but we haven’t been,” Larry Warter said.
On a fundraising page, Wayne Sallurday paid a heartfelt tribute to Erica. “Erica was an amazing person. She was a loving mother to her two sons and two daughters, with her youngest son being adopted at a young age,” the post stated.
“Erica worked at an elementary school teaching special needs children and later in the school library. She also spent a lot of time helping at her local church. We could go on and on, but you get the picture. She was one of the nicest people you could ever meet.”
The GoFundMe page created in their memory has raised over $60,000, showing the community’s generous response to the tragedy.
The National Weather Service provides important advice about rip currents on its website. It points out that while rip currents won’t pull swimmers underwater, they can quickly tire them out. Staying calm is very important.
“Trying to swim directly against a rip current will just use up your energy, which you need to survive and escape the current. Don’t swim straight to the shore. Instead, swim along the shore until you’re out of the current’s pull. Once you’re free, swim at an angle away from the current toward the shore,” the website advises. It also suggests never swimming alone and following the rule, “If in doubt, don’t go out!”
This tragic event highlights the dangers of rip currents and the need to follow safety warnings when swimming.
