Pedestrians walk as rain from Tropical Storm Hanna falls in Times Square on Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008 in New York. Rain fell heavily at times, and the National Weather Service predicted the fast-moving storm would dump up to four inches of rain before midnight and buffet the area with winds of up to 50 mph. The effects were expected to be stronger on Long Island, where emergency shelters were opened and parks were closed.
