SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Meteorologists downgraded Tropical Storm Hanna to a tropical rainstorm Sunday as it entered Canada's maritime provinces, bringing 1 to 3 inches of rain.
Canada's Atlantic Storm Prediction Center Sunday issued rainfall warnings for southern New Brunswick and western Nova Scotia, which could experience flash flooding from the remnants of Hanna, Accuweather.com reported.
The storm's run up the eastern U.S. coast Saturday caused Amtrak to cancel some trains, including the Silver Meteor between New York City and Miami, and the autotrain that runs from Lorton, Va., to Sanford, Fla. It also forced the delay of the NFL game between Philadelphia and New York Saturday night and pushed a NASCAR auto race in Richmond back to Sunday, Accuweather.com said.
Hanna's arrival along the Carolinas coast Saturday was preceded Friday by strong winds producing 8-foot breakers and powerful rip currents on northern Florida beaches. Some Hanna rainfall amounts included 5.11 inches at Washington D.C. and 5.13 inches at Danbury, Conn.
