Tropical Storm Hanna brought heavy rain and strong winds in New Jersey as well as some minor tidal flooding in Cape May County, up Delaware Bay and into the Delaware River on the 6th. Rain moved into the region around noon EDT, fell heavy at times during the late afternoon and early evening and ended during the late evening. Storm totals ranged from around 2 to around 5 inches with the highest amounts in northern New Jersey. The strongest winds occurred during the afternoon in the southern part of the state and the evening in the northern part of the state. The highest reported wind gust was 58 mph. Over 10,000 homes and businesses lost power. All power was restored by the 7th. Minor tidal flooding occurred during the afternoon and evening as the surge averaged around two feet. Many scheduled events were either cancelled or postponed.

The combination of the winds and heavy rain caused some weak trees and tree limbs to be knocked down throughout the state. This caused some isolated road closures in Burlington, Cumberland and Morris Counties. U.S. Route 46 was closed in Denville (Morris County) because of downed wires. Most of the other closures in the state were smaller roadways. About 2,300 homes and businesses lost power in Morris County; 2,600 homes and businesses in Monmouth and Ocean Counties and 4,700 homes and businesses in Cumberland County.
Minor tidal flooding occurred in the back bays of Ocean City and Lower Township in Cape May County. Three hundred truckloads of sand were dumped in Strathmere (Upper Township) to help combat some dune erosion. In Salem County, tidal flooding backed into two creeks. This was exacerbated in part by the freshwater run-off from the heavy rain. Tidal flooding was reported on New Jersey State Route 45 in Salem along the Fenwick Creek and on New Jersey State Route 49 in Quinton along the Alloway Creek.
Peak wind gusts included 58 mph in Barnegat (Ocean County), 51 mph in North Wildwood (Cape May County), 47 mph in Point Pleasant (Monmouth County), 45 mph in Keansburg and Ocean Grove (Monmouth County), 44 mph in Burlington Township (Burlington County), 43 mph in Atlantic City (Atlantic County) and Pittsgrove (Salem County) and 41 mph in Millville. The high tide at Reedys Point (New Castle County, Delaware) peaked at 7.22 feet above mean lower low water at 524 p.m. EDT on the 6th. Minor tidal flooding starts at 7.2 feet above mean lower low water. The high tide in Philadelphia peaked at 8.40 feet above mean lower low water at 726 p.m. EDT on the 6th. Minor tidal flooding starts at 8.2 feet above mean lower low water.
Tropical Storm Hanna made landfall at about 320 a.m. EDT on September 6th near the border of North and South Carolina. The tropical storm proceeded to move northeast. At 8 a.m. EDT, Hanna was near Goldsboro, North Carolina; at 11 a.m. EDT just southeast of Emporia, Virginia; at 2 p.m. EDT near Williamsburg, Virginia, at 5 p.m. EDT in Dorchester County, Maryland. Hanna then cut across northwest Sussex County in Delaware and entered Delaware Bay and made landfall in New Jersey close to 7 p.m. EDT in eastern Cumberland County. At 8 p.m. EDT Hanna was located in northern Atlantic County, New Jersey and exited the state near Island Beach State Park in Ocean County. At 11 p.m. EDT, Hanna was about to make landfall in western Suffolk County in New York State. Hanna continued to move northeast through eastern Long Island and New England overnight on the 6th.
