A 27-year-old man visiting from Connecticut drowned after being caught in a rip current at the beach near 80 South Ocean Boulevard in Delray Beach. Two friends who were also caught in the rip current but escaped, along with lifeguards tried to save the victim to no avail. The rip currents occurred the day before Tropical Storm Barry moved across Central Florida. Winds were out of the east to southeast at around 20 mph, leading to the formation of rip currents. Seas were also rough.

A best track is the record a warning agency settles on after the storm, not what it said at the time: position, maximum sustained wind and central pressure every six hours, revised against every observation that came in later. Category is the Saffir-Simpson scale, which runs from Category 1 at 64 kt to Category 5 at 137 kt and reads wind only, so it says nothing about surge or rain. Accumulated cyclone energy adds up the square of the wind through the storm's life, so it counts strength and duration together.
