GLEN COVE, NY — Wednesday's heavy rainfall has prompted Nassau County health officials to issue an advisory against bathing at 18 beaches, including two in Glen Cove. The advisory will be lifted at 8 a.m. on Friday. In an online bulletin, the county's health department said the "advisory is issued as a precautionary measure for beaches known to be impacted by stormwater runoff..." Officials say stormwater runoff can elevate bacteria levels in the water — making it potentially unsafe to bathe in. Some common bacteria include E. coli and fecal coliform. The following beaches are under an advisory against bathing: Morgan Sound – Glen CovePryibil Beach – Glen CoveTappen Beach – Glenwood LandingPiping Rock Beach Club – Locust ValleyTheodore Roosevelt Beach – Oyster BaySea Cliff Village Beach – Sea CliffNorth Hempstead Beach Park – Port WashingtonCentre Island Sound – BayvilleCreek Club – LattingtownLattingtown Beach – LattingtownLaurel Hollow Beach – Laurel HollowRansom Beach – BayvilleSoundside Beach – BayvilleStehli Beach – BayvilleBiltmore Beach Club – MassapequaHewlett Point Beach – East RockawayIsland Park Beach – Island Park Philip Healey Beach – Massapequa Tropical Depression Ida dumped historic amounts of rain on parts of Long Island Wednesday night, causing multiple floods, power outages, and even a mudslide. Although New York City and the Hudson Valley were hit the hardest, parts of Long Island — especially on the North Shore — were also deluged with rainwater. Some areas received nearly seven inches of rain in just a few hours.
