Just In Time For The 4th, Jaws Off The Coast Of North Carolina
How did I know that just 3 days until we head for our annual 4th of July beach getaway, I was going to come across a story that, well, “Jaws,” is out there waiting. According to Osearch “Ironbound” is a great white shark that measures at about 12 ft. 4 in. long and 998 lbs. The beast’s tracker placed it in the Pamlico Sound near the mouth of the Neuse River at about 7:30 a.m. Monday.
Wait, the shark news gets even better <g>. A 7-year-old girl was the apparent victim of a shark bit around 11:30 on Sunday morning while swimming off the shores of Ocean Isle Beach. The girl was treated with stitches on her leg, but was no seriously injured. I heard it AGAIN the other day that you are more likely to be struck by lightening twice that attacked by a shark, once. That being said, I want to remind you of an absolute truth: THERE HAS NEVER, I MEAN NEVER, been a shark attack in a hotel pool. Just sayin’. Have a happy 4th.
