Tropical Storm Idalia is strengthening and headed toward South Carolina, which means Myrtle Beach-area residents might be thinking how it could affect their homes. But your risk for flooding depends on where you live. Idalia is expected to strengthen to a hurricane later today before it reaches the Florida coast, according to the National Weather Service Hurricane Center.
