Tropical Storm Hanna dumped some needed rain on the two fires that have smoldered in the region for months, but officials are not ready to say the fires are out just yet.

The Port of Hampton Roads was reopened by the U.S. Coast Guard captain of the port Saturday evening, according to a news release issued at 1:40 a.m. Sunday.

There were still 1,430 customers without power in southeastern Virginia and North Carolina, according to an 11 p.m. report posted on the Dominion Virginia Power and Dominion North Carolina Power Web site. However, there were still about 6,600 customers without power throughout the two states. In all, nearly 200,000 Dominion customers lost power as a result of Hanna. 

Tropical Storm Hanna paid a quick visit to the Outer Banks and checked out before noon Saturday, leaving a stiff breeze and rough surf behind. With the storm’s center carving through inland counties, the worst weather delivered to the coast was a blast of heavy rain during the morning. It cleared out within about 30 minutes.
