Tampa Bay Buccaneers heading to New Orleans early to avoid Hurricane Milton

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are departing for their Week 6 matchup early in order to avoid the expected landfall of Hurricane Milton in Tampa, Florida.

The team announced that it will leave Tampa on Tuesday morning and would be “relocating operations” to the New Orleans area for the rest of the week. The 3-2 Buccaneers take on the 2-3 New Orleans Saints in an NFC South divisional game on Sunday.

It is the strongest hurricane to occur anywhere on the planet this year and one of the 10 strongest hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic. It is expected to regain Category 5 strength on Tuesday morning and maintain this strength through the day. The hurricane is expected to fluctuate in intensity before ultimately making landfall on Wednesday as a Category 3 storm. Florida is less than two weeks removed from the deadly effects of Hurricane Helene.
