"This is a little different for me," the seven-time Super Bowl winner said. "I've never had to deal with anything like this. We had COVID for a couple years and now with this seems like a pretty intense hurricane coming our way."

He added, "I don't think Tampa's probably, I don't think any place is very well suited for a hurricane to hit, but everyone in this area will be in our thoughts and prayers as we go through it. I know our team is going to have to adjust, go to Miami and practice there for the week, and then hopefully we can come back later in the week and play against the Chiefs Sunday night."

Brady also acknowledged the plan isn't set in stone. "A lot of things can happen in a short period of time, and I think it's suited for all of us to stay adaptable to the situation," he said. "I don't think that anyone's really prepared for this. I know I've been preparing all morning and get all my stuff outside, try to put it inside, try to get all the stuff on the ground level up a little bit higher."
"I'm right here on the bay so they're talking about pretty high storm surges and it's a scary thing," he said, "I will say that it's a scary thing when it really hits your doorstep."
