"I had watched that group of girls get into the water right by the pier and I remember thinking to myself at one point that they were getting pretty far out there," she said. "At one point I looked up and saw one girl waving her arms at me from the water." "I called 911 immediately, but the wind was so strong that day that I couldn’t hear the dispatcher, so I didn’t know if they could hear me," said DeWitt. "I scanned the beach to see if they could help me and there was nobody. It was just myself, my kids and that group of girls."Courtesy Alyssa DeWitt
