MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (CNN) -- After earning a reputation as a killer in Haiti, Tropical Storm Hanna amounted to little more than a windy rainstorm along the Atlantic Coast on Saturday.

At that hour, the center of the storm was 65 miles southwest of Norfolk, Virginia, the hurricane center said. Hanna would travel the coast all the way up to Canada's Maritime Provinces by Sunday night, forecasters said.
Hanna came ashore at 3:20 a.m. near the North Carolina-South Carolina state line.
It caused a surge of 1 to 2 feet of water along the shore and was expected to deliver 4 to 6 inches of rain, with some areas getting more.
Flooding, wind damage and power outages were minor across the Carolinas, according to emergency officials. View a map of Hanna's projected path »
"It's actually going fairly well, with some reports of minor flooding," said South Carolina Emergency Management spokesman Derrec Becker.
About 10,000 South Carolina homes were without power Saturday morning, mostly in the Myrtle Beach area, Becker said. He also said 444 South Carolina residents were staying in 15 shelters.
In North Carolina, nearly 12,000 homes had no electricity, mostly in the counties near the site where Hanna touched down, said State Emergency Management spokesman Mark Van Sciver.
No deaths were reported, flooding was limited and no highways were closed, Van Sciver said.
Nearly 1,500 residents sought refuge Saturday in 49 emergency shelters in North Carolina, Van Sciver said.

Pounding waves flattened some sand dunes on the beaches at Oak Island, North Carolina -- just east of the storm's landfall.
The island's Ocean Crest pier, rebuilt after Hurricane Floyd destroyed it nine years ago, held up under Hanna, but the American flag flying above it was in tatters and barely attached to its pole by sunrise.

Hanna caused severe flooding and killed at least 137 as it lingered for several days over and just off the coast of Haiti.
U.N. relief supplies started arriving in the beleaguered country on Friday, even as Hurricane Ike threatens to do even more damage.
Ike will pass near or over the Turks and Caicos Islands, just north of Haiti, and the southeastern Bahamas in the next day, the hurricane center said.
Ike's impact on the United States is less certain, but it could brush South Florida and hit the Gulf Coast as a major hurricane next week.
