NFL fans were fearful that the Super Bowl would be canceled after a scary threat was issued on Saturday evening.
A powerful magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Caribbean Sea about 129 miles south-southwest of the Cayman Islands at 5:23 PM, prompting tsunami warnings for all coastlines in the region.
Authorities were working to determine whether the threat could spread higher into the Gulf of Mexico and potentially impact the Gulf Coast, which would have been a worry for New Orleans, where Super Bowl 59 is being held tonight.
Fans Were Worried That The Super Bowl Could Be Under Threat
Football fans were naturally concerned after coming across the update.
“What happens if a Tsunami hits New Orleans?” someone asked.
“IS THERE A TSUNAMI THREAT FOR SUPER BOWL?” another asked.
“Is there gonna be a tsunami in New Orleans? The night before the Super Bowl?!!” a third inquired.
“What does this mean for New Orleans? Super Bowl tomorrow. Looks like it could be in the path of Tsunami,” added another.
Thankfully, there was never any threat to the U.S., and the alert was rescinded.
The game will go on as planned.
