CONWAY — Local officials, who have been monitoring Tropical Storm Isaias as it made its way up the East Coast this week, were relieved to hear that the first tropical storm to come to the valley since Irene wreaked havoc in 2011, had taken more of a westerly track over New England.
At Tuesday's selectmen's meeting, Conway Emergency Management Director Matt Leavitt told the board the biggest threat to the valley would be wind from 10 p.m. Tuesday to 3 a.m. Wednesday and possible power outages resulting from the wind.
