Tampa General Hospital tests flood barrier ahead of Hurricane Milton's approach.
As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, Tampa General Hospital is testing its flood barrier, which successfully protected it during Hurricane Helene. The nine-foot AquaFence barrier can withstand surges up to 15 feet. Jacksonville is deploying "Tiger Dams," water-filled tubes for flood protection, while HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital is also installing a similar system. St. Petersburg residents near construction sites are warned about potential crane hazards during the storm.
