A tourist named Debbie \u200dSzymanski, aged\u200c 60 from Missouri, tragically died after being found unconscious in Panama City \u2062Beach&#8217;s waters.\u200b Efforts to save her at the hospital were unsuccessful, and her death is attributed to \u2064the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hurricane-hilary-here-is-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-west-coasts-rare-storm\/\" title=\"Hurricane Hilary: West Coast's rare storm, all you need to know.\">dangerous rip currents<\/a>.
