'''Tropical Storm Danielle''' was a strong tropical storm that made landfall on [[Virginia]] in the [[1992 Atlantic hurricane season]]. The fourth storm of the season, Danielle was one of two tropical cyclones in the year to make landfall in the [[United States]], the other being [[Hurricane Andrew]]. It formed out of a stationary trough of low pressure on September 18 near the coast of [[North Carolina]]. The system quickly reached tropical storm status, and Danielle looped to the west due to a change in steering currents. Tropical Storm Danielle reached a peak of {{convert|65|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} winds before weakening and hitting the [[Delmarva Peninsula]]. The storm quickly dissipated over land. |

The storm dropped light rainfall throughout its path, and winds were minimal. The combination of Danielle and a high pressure system produced higher than normal tides and strong waves, causing beach erosion and light coastal damage. The waves killed two in New Jersey from a boat sinking, and also destroyed three houses in the [[Outer Banks]] of North Carolina. Overall damage from the storm was minimal. |
