As Hurricane Helene approaches the Bay Area, heavy rainfall and flooding have severely affected roadways and local communities. Tampa General Hospital is at the forefront of the preparations, utilizing AquaFence technology, which can withstand storm surges up to 15 feet, to protect its facilities. Despite the adverse conditions, including roof rescues and stalled vehicles in Hillsborough County, the hospital manages to keep operations running, albeit under challenging circumstances. Residents have taken to social media, seeking assistance for loved ones amid the flooding crisis. The deployment of AquaFence is viewed as a critical measure, ensuring that the hospital remains operational as Helene makes landfall.
