While the entire state of Florida awaits the arrival of Hurricane Milton to make landfall in the wee hours of Thursday morning, the record breaking storm is already starting to make its presence felt.

According to a post by Cardinal Gibbons' football team on X, formerly known as Twitter, the Chiefs' home stadium has already flooded out due to rain fall from outer rain bands from Milton. Down below is the post by Cardinal Gibbons on Tuesday.

The current Category 5 hurricane is slated to reach the Sunshine State around 2 a.m. on Thursday morning, per weather forecasters and have a major impact on the western coastal areas of Florida, specifically in Tampa Bay and the South Suncoast regions.

When it comes to high school football games on the Week 8 slate, many games have been moved to next week because of the impending major storm slamming into the state.
