Background:
This question only considers U.S. states, not territories or other countries. Question asks where storm will make landfall.
1. Doesn't make landfall - question voided
2. Makes landfall in two states - question will be settled and resettled to pay out both options
3. Wanders around - 'landfall' implies where it first hits land, so only the first state where the eye crosses will count
4. Makes landfall in a non-US state - question voided
Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source.

"MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 70 MPH...115 KM/HR...
WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ALTHOUGH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN STRENGTH IS
FORECAST BEFORE LANDFALL...IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A SMALL INCREASE IN
WIND SPEED FOR HANNA TO BECOME A HURRICANE."
Hanna only needs to have sustained winds at 74 mph to become a Cat 1 hurricane. This is going to be close!
