Baby Sea Turtle Ventures Into Stormy Surf on Jupiter Beach

A baby sea turtle braved stormy weather to make a run for the ocean in Jupiter, Florida, as Tropical Storm Isaias moved along the east coast on August 2.

Tropical Storm Isaias was packing maximum winds of 65 mph and was about 55 miles from Fort Pierce, Florida, as of 11 am on Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecasters. NHC said a tropical storm warning was issued in several states, including Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
