Swimmers and boaters be warned: Hurricane Franklin is causing dangerous rip currents on the southern coast and midcoast of Maine. The National Weather Service issued a warning for high rip current risk until Thursday evening in coastal York, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox, Waldo and Cumberland counties. Rip currents are strong currents that pull water away from the shore, and in some cases, pull swimmers out to sea.
