Leeanne Ericson was camping at San Onofre Saturday evening.
She loves the ocean and decided to join her boyfriend in the water when she was bitten by a shark.
"She was swimming, he was surfing and I guess he heard her scream when he was on the board," said family friend Laura Smith. "He jumped and dove off the board and went looking for her and found her on the bottom and brought her up on the surf board and paddled in with her and tied the leash around her leg to try to control the bleeding until they airlifted her down to the hospital, but if it wasn't for him she wouldn't have made it. He truly save her life."

The red-winged blackbird is an American species which was spotted by a local bird observatory on the island of North Ronaldsay on Saturday.
Now scores of twitchers have taken advantage of the Bank Holiday weekend and chartered planes to go and see the rare bird, which was spotted by Simon Davies, principal assistant warden of the North Ronaldsay Bird Observatory.
Mr Davies was doing a bird census when the blackbird "popped up its head behind some gas cannisters", said Larissa Simulik, an assistant warden at the observatory.
Photographers snapped some amazing pictures of killer whales and humpbacks while watching off the coast of Monterey, Calif. in April 2017.
This is the fourth kill in seven days for the group of orcas. That's one kill every other day since last Thursday by the same nine killer whales (with a few others joining occasionally). Nancy Black, a marine biologist with Monterey Bay Whale Watch who has been studying these whales for decades, called the frequency of the pod's killings "remarkable" and "unprecedented."
"This has never happened in my thirty years," Black told SFGATE. "Just to witness that out in nature when you usually see that kind of thing on television is really spectacular."

The National Weather Service on Saturday said road conditions in north and central New Mexico could be treacherous as a significant amount of snow and blowing snow has hit along Interstate 25 and Interstate 40.
State transportation officials also reported closures on I-25 and Highway 64 near Raton as of Saturday afternoon.

© Matt Dempsey The People’s Climate March in Denver, Colorado, on April 29, 2017. It was postponed due to snow.
The Colorado Springs march, one of 12 slated to take place in Colorado, was canceled late Friday after heavy snow began falling across the Front Range, with more than a foot accumulating in some areas, as reported by Western Wire.
"Sometimes Mother Nature throws you a curveball!" said the Colorado Springs Council for Justice in a Friday post 350 Colorado Springs. "We know we aren't in the business of risking anyone's safety. Dangerous conditions and wet heavy snow in the forecast for tomorrow."
More than 100 marchers braved the cold at a rally Saturday at Civic Center Park in Denver, where the snow was so heavy that someone was able to build a snowman, as shown in photos posted online.
The website Complete Colorado ran a photo of a man on skis with the headline, "Heading to the Global Warming Rally Today."
A tornado is pictured casting ominous dark shadow over Canton, Texas, about 50 miles east of Dallas
Powerful storms swept through Canton and nearby areas about 50 miles east of Dallas, leaving behind a trail of overturned vehicles, mangled trees and damaged homes.
ETMC Regional Heathcare Systems hospitals in the area received at least 47 patients following the storm.
One person was in critical condition, spokeswoman Rebecca Berkley said.
The tornado warning was issued until 8:15 a.m. for Bartholomew and Decatur counties as the storm passed through Columbus to the east.
Several severe thunderstorm warnings were issued across south central Indiana as the storms moved through.
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 2 a.m. for several counties in southern Indiana, including Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Franklin, Jennings and Monroe, among others further to the south and east of the WTHR viewing area.
Also, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for a large portion of south central Indiana through Saturday morning.
Northern Lights are usually green, and sometimes red. Those are the colors produced by oxygen when it is excited by electrons raining down from space. On April 22nd, Didier Lindsey of Fox, Alaska, witnessed an apparition of aurora-blue:
Hours before he took the picture, a CME struck Earth's magnetic field, igniting a G2-class geomagnetic storm. "The sky filled with very active auroras," Lindsey says,"including these rare blues."

The federal government has just released yet another key piece of scientific data that counters the man-made global warming narrative. The federal U.S. Drought Monitor report shows that droughts in the U.S. are at record lows in 2017.

"Drought in the U.S. fell to a record low this week, with just 6.1% of the lower 48 states currently experiencing such dry conditions, federal officials announced Thursday. That's the lowest percentage in the 17-year history of the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report," USA Today reported on April 27.
