Tom Petty may have been on to something when he sang "the waiting is the hardest part". We've been watching this storm for over a week. As it gets closer time seems to be slowing down. Yesterday was a long day. The next 24 hours will most likely seem like an eternity. It's a little after 7:00 AM now. There is a little bit of rain and wind. Conditions are expected to go downhill throughout the day with the worst coming tonight. We've got plenty of supplies and are as ready as we'll ever be.....it's this dang waiting!
