MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — After Idalia came through Myrtle Beach Wednesday, we're getting our first look at the destruction left behind. Crews were already out assessing the damage Thursday. Despite being downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it made it to the South Carolina coast, Idalia still packed quite the punch. Around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, a waterspout came ashore North Myrtle Beach and turned into a tornado. 'Everything was fine, I was watching U.S. Open tennis, and all of sudden it came, that buzzer on TV saying /get to a low area, there's a water spout in Cherry Grove, going to be a tornado,' one homeowner said.
