The episode as NWS AKQ wrote it up.
Tropical Storm Hanna affected much of central and eastern Virginia during Saturday, September 6th. Storm total rainfall ranged from around one inch to just below five inches. The highest sustained wind of 48 knots (55 mph) with a peak gust of 59 knots (68 mph) was recorded at the 3rd Island Bay Bridge Tunnel. Minimum pressure of 991 MB was recorded at the 3rd Island Bay Bridge Tunnel. Coastal storm tides of 2 feet or less above astronomical tide levels were common, with only minor beach erosion reported. Near the coast, as well as inland, tropical storm winds knocked down numerous trees and power lines, as well as caused minor structural damage. No fatalities or injuries were attributed to the winds.
