The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making preparations to relocate to the New Orleans area in anticipation of Hurricane Milton's expected landfall along Florida's west coast. The team plans to travel on Tuesday and spend the week out of state, deviating from their usual practice routine at their Tampa training facility.
Hurricane Milton intensified into a Category 5 storm over the Gulf of Mexico on Monday and is forecasted to potentially hit the Tampa Bay area on Wednesday. In response to the impending weather conditions, the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning had to cancel their Monday night preseason game against the Nashville Predators. This game had already been rescheduled from September 27 due to the impact of Hurricane Helene, which caused significant damage in the region two weeks ago.
