Gov. Tim Kaine is advising coastal residents of southeastern Virginia to keep informed about Tropical Storm Hanna.

Kaine told reporters during a teleconference Thursday there are no plans to evacuate coastal residents as the storm makes it way up the Atlantic coast. He said that prospect appears unlikely, based on Hanna's likely path.

The governor said the latest forecasts suggest the Virginia coast could see winds of 40 to 60 mph, rainfall of two to four inches and tides two to four feet above normal.

Kaine said coastal residents should be preparing now. He suggested they monitor media updates on the storm, have supplies in place in the event of power failures and prepare for an evacuation if the worst occurs.
