LA County issues beach bacteria warning after rain
Description: Los Angeles County health officials are advising swimmers and surfers to stay out of the ocean for at least three days because of heavy storm runoff. The advisory issued Monday came as a massive storm system moved through Southern California with heavy rain and minor flooding. Seawater bacteria levels can increase significantly during and after rainstorms as contaminants in storm runoff enter the ocean via storm drains, creeks and rivers.
