Would you expect the game to be cancelled if this flash flood warning wasn’t associated with the media sensationalist buzz word “hurricane?”
We get flash flood watches and warnings all the time in the South, and the place doesn’t shut down.
Not trying to say what’s happening there isn’t a big deal, but it just doesn’t seem to rise to the level of “cancel everything” IMO.
There have been OUTDOOR football games played in worse rain storm weather, while the surrounding areas are getting drenched/flooded. All that’s different here is that it has the word “hurricane” with it, which isn’t as big a deal as it is here on the Gulf because that storm will start being ripped to shreds the literally the second it touches that part of the country, based on the land terrain/altitude/etc.
