Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida's west coast, causing widespread devastation, including power outages for over three million residents and severe damage in areas like Sarasota. The Weather Channel's Paul Goodloe drew controversy by comparing the storm's eye to the Atlanta Falcons' infamous 28-3 lead collapse in Super Bowl LI, a metaphor intended to emphasize caution about the storm's potential resurgence. While the comment was met with mixed reactions, Sarasota experienced winds over 80 MPH and significant rainfall, contributing to the destruction, including damage to the Rays' stadium and the cancellation of an NBA preseason game. Despite the backlash, the analogy highlighted ongoing public interest in the Falcons' historic loss, even amidst natural disasters. The storm continues to pose a threat as it progresses, with emergency management officials urging residents to take precautions seriously.
