Authorities say a teenager from Ponchatoula, LA is missing in the dangerous surf on the Alabama coast. Officials say 17-year-old Chaston Brown went missing around 4 p.m. Sunday in Gulf Shores.

The search had to be suspended after about three hours because of rough surf and fading light, according to WKRG. The search resumed Monday and a dive team is in the water searching for Brown.





Body found 7/22/14

Terrible story.

I was in Destin over the 4th, and even though the surf didn't look like much on the surface, the current was very strong. I hope there's a good outcome.

Currently in Destin and the waves have been the biggest i've seen in a long time and the currents are the strongest I can remember.

It was really freaking rough on the gulf coast last weekend. The wind was howling.

Such a sad story. Was at the beach about 10 miles from this and noticed the current picking up big time around 230 pm.

It went from calm to dangerous FAST
