Hanna Causes Some Flooding, Flight Delays in NYC

    NEW YORK (AP) - No major damage is reported, but it took just a
few hours for Tropical Storm Hanna to drop a month’s worth of rain
over New York.
    The storm is responsible for flooding highways, delaying flights
and halting the U.S. Open Tennis tournament. Thousands of customers
remain without power, mostly on Long Island.
    At least three inches of rain fell over parts of New York City
and nearly six inches was measured in nearby Rockland County.
Generally the metropolitan area gets three to four inches of rain
in September.
    The National Weather Service says wind gusts reached 40 miles
per hour.
    Stretches of several highways in the city and its suburbs were
closed because of flooding and fallen trees.
    The storm is expected to wash over New England and head up to
Canada by Sunday afternoon.
