After making landfall in North Carolina, Tropical Storm Hanna continued on its northeast track impacting the states of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont on September 6 and September 7, 2008. This storm consisted of heavy rains, strong winds, some hail, lightning strikes, and even tornadic activity.  As a result, trees and tree limbs fell onto homes, fences and decks, power lines were downed resulting in power outages and sewers backed up and overflowed into homes.  The areas with the highest concentration of damages were the Pennsylvania counties of Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware and Lehigh and the Connecticut counties of Hartford, New Haven and Fairfield.
