LONG BEACH, N.Y. -- Hurricane Lee is churning toward New England before it's expected to make landfall around Nova Scotia, but the storm is still impacting beaches in our area. Advisories have been issued for high surf and rip currents, beach erosion and coastal flooding during high tides. CBS New York's Doug Williams spent the morning in Long Beach on Long Island's South Shore, where 4 to 7 foot waves crashed along the beach. Red flags lined the shore to signal that swimming was not allowed, but Williams saw several surfers taking advantage of the swells.
