Hanna linked to three deaths

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine says three traffic deaths on Virginia roads have been linked to Tropical Storm Hanna. The deaths involved two wrecks in Chesterfield County caused by heavy rain. Overall, Kaine said the state was prepared for more severe weather than Hanna delivered. Kaine said 51,000 homes remained without power and about 80 people remained at emergency shelters as of early evening. The governor said emergency officials already have their sights set on Hurricane Ike, which has the potential to drench western Virginia.
