As Hurricane Ian made landfall over Cuba as a Category 3 storm, knocking out power for the entire country, Tampa Bay Lightning officials made the call to postpone all of the activities associated with their 30th Anniversary kickoff that they had planned for the weekend.
The #Bolts have also announced the following postponements due to potential effects of Hurricane Ian:
- 30th Anniversary Season Kickoff (Scheduled for 10/1)
- Open practice (Scheduled for 10/2)
- Coop’s Catch for Kids, Jon Cooper’s charity fishing tournament (Scheduled for 10/3)— Chris Krenn (@Chris_Krenn) September 27, 2022While the projected path of the storm has now shifted south of the Tampa Bay area, there is still the possibility of a lethal storm surge that could reach 4 to 6 feet in the bay and surrounding areas.
