Does anyone old like me remember a Saints-Giants game played in the Superdome in the mid-to-late 1980's that was played either during or very soon before a hurricane/tropical storm was hitting here?

I went to the game with my dad. I remember it was either a noon or a 3pm kickoff, and it was night-time dark before and after the game. It was raining a little, but not a lot, before and after the game. The Superdome was about half-full, maybe less, and I'm pretty sure the Saints lost.

Anyone else recall this?

Pretty sure that was the game I caught two touchdown passes on the ramps.

This is the game where I hid the cell phone in the cushioning around the goal post in the south end zone. I ran on the field and placed a call to the ghost of Dave Waymer on it after a defensive touchdown. Joe Horn stole my gimmick a few years later also against the New York (football) Giants.

10/27/85? I thought Hurricane Juan based on the mid 80s and looked up the schedule for that year. A home game against the Giants coincided with Juan.
