clipped from news.yahoo.com RALEIGH, N.C. - Tropical Storm Hanna sailed easily over the beaches of Carolinas' coast and moved inland Saturday, blowing hard and dumping rain in eastern North Carolina but causing little damage beyond isolated flooding as it quickly headed north toward New England. "Hanna is heading north in a hurry, leaving behind sunshine for the weekend," said Myrtle Beach city spokesman Mark Kruea. "As the day goes on, I'm sure we're going to hear more reports of flooding as people get out and get on the roads," she said. "I don't see anything too exciting about this — it's not too serious," Cusick said. The wind started to kick in about 2:30 a.m. in Morehead City, said Don Ogle of Newport, the night manager of a motel in the city along North Carolina's central coast. He said half of the motel's day crew stayed overnight.
