Episode 22 | Preparing for a storm and precautions to take to keep you safe

A tropical storm watch has been issued for Charleston County after Idalia strengthened to a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico this morning. The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office is watching the system as the Lowcountry is expected to feel its effects, including lots of rain, on Wednesday. Chief Deputy Fletcher King is advising residents to be prepared, whether it’s making sure you’ve got supplies in stock and when not to drive, especially if it’s through standing water - all in this episode of The Beat podcast, a conversation about the Charleston County Sheriff's Office and our beautiful South Carolina community.
