Long Island braces for impacts of Lee

LONG ISLAND - On Long Island, both Nassau and Suffolk counties have braced for potential impacts. Many areas along the south shore got a head start at reinforcing their beaches this week. In the Town of Hempstead, pay-loaders transported large piles of sand, while crews secured boats and cleared storm drains to prepare for any flooding. "You can see the waves from 7 to 10 feet, a lot of erosion, but people on the south shore really need to pay attention," Town Supervisor Don Clavin warned.
