On August 22, 1992, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played a road game against the Miami Dolphins. It was a common preseason destination for the Buccaneers. Two days later, Hurricane Andrew made landfall in South Florida; it remains, for now, the most destructive hurricane to hit the Sunshine State.
Andrew is rightly remembered for the devastation it wreaked on communities such as Homestead and Cutler Ridge (as well as Louisiana and the Bahamas), including the 65 people it killed in Florida. At this point it is little more than trivia, but Hurricane Andrew also affected the Dolphins' season.

Miami was set to open its regular season at home against the New England Patriots on September 6, but the game was postponed due to the destruction caused by the hurricane.
