Even though Hurricane Lee isn't expected to make landfall on Long Island, officials want to be prepared, and gave an update on their plans.
The Town of Hempstead Storm Response Team has been mobilized. Crews will be securing boats and other seaside equipment, clearing storm drains, and reinforcing town beaches to protect low-lying communities. As of Thursday, high surf, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion are the biggest threats to the Tri-State Area. Plus, a new moon starting Thursday will further stir the swelling tide. Hurricane season isn't over, so it's a good time to prepare at home.
To keep people safe, swimming at Hempstead Town beaches will not be allowed through the end of the week.
