LIDO BEACH, N.Y. (PIX11) – Long Island beaches saw huge waves Wednesday as Hurricane Lee is expected to pass the New England area.
Waves at Lido Beach in Nassau County were around 8 to 10 feet high.
PIX11 meteorologist Byron Miranda said that although Hurricane Lee won’t directly hit the tri-state area, it could cause flooding and beach erosion on Long Island.
