Tropical Storm Hanna impacted Northeast New Jersey, making landfall near the Nassau/Suffolk County border around 10:35 pm on the 6th. Storm total rainfall ranged from 2.52 inches at Ridgewood to 5.50 inches at River Edge. The highest sustained wind speed of 34 knots (39 mph) with a peak gust of 39 knots (45 mph) was recorded at Newark Airport. The lowest sea-level pressure was 998 mb. at Newark Airport and Teterboro Airport. Near the coast, as well as inland, only scattered trees were reported down due to the wind, which caused minor property damage. No fatalities or injuries were attributed to the winds. All of the associated effects of Hanna resulted in an estimated $20,000 in property damage, and a minimal amount of crop damage.
