Tampa General Hospital, a critical healthcare facility in western Florida, took proactive measures to protect its patients and infrastructure ahead of Hurricane Helene's landfall. The hospital erected a protective wall known as 'AquaFence' to shield itself from the potential impacts of the storm.
The AquaFence is designed to withstand powerful gusts of up to 130 mph and storm surges reaching heights of 15 feet above sea level. This innovative barrier was put in place to safeguard the hospital's operations and ensure the safety of its patients and staff.
