Hurricane Helene: How 'AquaFence' is protecting Tampa General Hospital

[@charlotteryner6583]

If it works, $1M will seem like a small price to pay. Now, an affordable solution for homeowners. ..😢

[@tashacanney2362]

There's a newer video that came out today on a weather channel showing it in action & it worked flawlessly. I came here to see exactly what it looked like. Very smart! 🌊

[@deth3021]

[@TahtahmesDiary]

It worked, I saw a video of floods and the ground was dry between the fence and front door. Whoever invested for the hospital should pat themselves on the back.

There's several options from aqua bags to s shorter plastic wall... people need to research and prepare.its been available!

[@wetdroidedition2549]

There is a competent management and a competent team behind this preparation. Yes, the aquafence is great but you have to know how to install it correctly and on time. Also, judging from the information note, they have implemented other forms of prevention. Well done, Tampa Hospital!

[@robevans5222]

It would be ridiculously expensive to relocate this hospital to a less vulnerable location. As often as these storms are occurring, and as extreme as they are becoming, perhaps it would make sense to construct a permanent concrete flood wall, rather than having to install and remove this 'fence' system repeatedly.

Not true. Lee Memorial in Fort Myers is completely abandoning their campus and moving inland after Hurricane Ian hit the area.
