Red Tide Empties Local Beaches

It's a beautiful day today. We had a record high temperature of 95 degrees and there's not a cloud in the sky but local beaches remain nearly empty as a red tide algae bloom works its way along the coast from South Padre to Port Aransas.
I went to Padre Island today but left immediately because of eye irritation and foul air caused by the microbial toxin.
The news reports say it is not harmful to humans but it has been fatal to thousands of fish which are washing up on shore.
