Tropical Storm Hanna brought heavy rain throughout eastern Pennsylvania and strong winds in southeastern Pennsylvania as well as some minor tidal flooding along the lower Delaware River on the 6th.

Storm totals averaged from around 2 inches to around 4 inches. The lightest amounts were in the Poconos, the heaviest in the Philadelphia northwest suburbs. The strongest winds occurred during the afternoon and early evening. While peak wind gusts were only around 40 mph, the duration of the wind combining with the heavy rain caused weak trees and tree limbs to fall down in the southeastern part of the state.

Many scheduled sporting events and other outdoor activities were either cancelled or postponed. About 50 flights in and out of Philadelphia International Airport were cancelled.

In Berks County, two homes were damaged by fallen trees: one on Hampden Boulevard in Reading and the other when a 100 foot sumac tree fell on it on South Park Road in Wyomissing. Mineral Springs Road in Reading was closed because of downed trees into the night of the 7th. About 3,200 homes and businesses also lost power in the Lehigh Valley.
