The catastrophic storms are replacing each other in Florida. Two weeks ago, Florida was hit by Hurricane Helene. Many players in the NHL team Tampa Bay had their homes and properties damaged.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, 230 people have died and the rescue work after the disaster is still ongoing.

After Monday's training, the players were forced to evacuate to North Carolina again. This is due to Hurricane Milton, which is described as the storm of the century. Milton is expected to hit parts of Florida on Wednesday. The storm is estimated to be the strongest hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico since 2005, reports Aftonbladet.

We barely recovered from the previous one before it starts again, says Victor Hedman according to Aftonbladet and Expressen.

Hedman and his team are therefore forced to prepare for Friday's NHL premiere against Carolina Hurricanes far from home.

It's tough, but we have to get ready for Friday. It's obviously hard, but we need to be professionals when we're on the ice. It's worse for the people who will be affected, says Hedman.
