@MrSuperG Because the manpower that would take, and the foresight you would need, as well as the expense cost, would be insane. Like, truly. To put around an entire city, that kind of protection. It's just not logistically realistic.It's honestly cheaper for them to just allow as little damage as possible while protecting the most vital parts of the city. It literally will cost less to just let the rain destroy the least valuable parts of the city and rebuild. Over what you're suggesting
Talk about corruption! $1,000 per linear foot?! What a rip off! Oh well, taxpayer is ultimately paying, so charge an arm & a leg. Business as usual! Health-industry gets north of $1 trillion per year in taxpayer subsidies. This could cover all the legitimate healthcare costs for the year, and yet, no universal coverage.
@MrSuperG 1. Because the entire city doesn't flood all the time only maybe every other year or so. 2. Those flood walls are extremely temporary and aren't meant as a permanent solution. 3. I've lived all my life near and around the mississippi and Ohio rivers and most of the towns on them if not on bluffs are protected by levees and they're extremely expensive to build but even more so to maintain. Some towns are all but abandoned due to being able afford to raise the levees. It's hard enough to maintain levees around small cities in places with minimal erosion and the best possible soil for levee building (Not sand) and no tides. It would be near impossible to build and maintain levees (the obvious soil to do it would be sand btw) around a costal city with a tropical climate with frequent storms year round. they'd have to be replaced every month.
And can be reused. So, it should be on hire when there is a demand. In Florida and the region several times per year. I would invest in this renting company.
It is good there are many like this as well, we can get them in the UK for river flooding. However a better idea would be not building on the flood plains. 🤦♂️
That fence unquestionably paid for itself during the hurricane. For anyone who doesn’t work in a hospital, a flood would’ve completely ruined tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment on top of making the hospital conditions unsuitable for patients.
Because 1 liter of water weighs 1 kg, and with gravity that’s 10 newtons on the plate, then it’s just dependent on the strength of the material used to hold back the water. This is just a simple engineering problem.

Milton wasn't a direct hit to Tampa and therefore the storm surge was less than predicted. The concern with the fence was whether it would be tall enough. If the full predicted storm surge had happened there was the possibility of the flooding going over the top.

I grew up in Brandon in the Tampa area. When i was a kid 10 y.o. I ran into a mail box while throwing the football with my bro. Ripped my eye lid open, i could see through the opening. My mom took me to Tampa General Hospital, sat in the ER for so long the eyelid fused shut on it's own. Thats the day we learned that eyelids are one of the fastest healing parts on the body, according to the doc anyway
I went to USF & worked at Moffitt for years. USF is a shelter and they would come around asking all of us in the dorms for bedding for evacuees. We would give them almost everything & rebuy after the storm. We pooled our money and those of us who worked in the department stores in the mail would use our discounts and beg our managers for additional discount to replace. No one was screaming that the government was not helping.
I was born in TGH and live not far from it. Big hospital with great staff. I had my thyroid cancer surgery done there and I’m fine. One of the best hospital around.
Amazing product saved a lot of money and maintained essential life saving services to the public. If I lived in that area that has flood risk , I would invest some for my property.

@@abigailburks1073 From what I heard on the news story, there is a skyway/ elevated walkway they used to get around. There must be an entrance to access the skyway.

I think it would be called a sea wall. New Orleans has levees (which failed during Katrina). Venice, Italy has invested billions in a mechanical sea wall system that can be raised and lowered for boats, however they miscalculated how quickly climate change would cause the water levels to exceed the sea walls max height, so it has a short lifespan. I believe a lot of the Netherlands is below sea level and they are kind of the global experts in building them. Nature will likely win in the end though with raising ocean levels and more powerful and frequent storms.

It's a new product so it's always more money to purchase but look at the life's it saved. That hospital is a great hospital with many awards for all kinds of problems.
A little confused by this, as while it's true that climate change is over multiple decades going to gradually increase the average temperature of the Caribbean sea, and thus help fuel hurricanes. Hurricanes themselves are not a product of human-induced climate change. They have been happening since humans have been on this planet. So even if we magically resolved human-induced climate change, hurricanes will still occur.
Too many companies nowadays are telling their engineers to create products that last a certain amount of time before dying. Glad to see there’s still companies out there being innovative and creating life saving products.
Wow if i was well off and lived near the water, id even want this for my house! For hospitals and stores and stuff, it could help the community so much!
Our State Government in Australia used this type of fence in about 2014 to save a town in western Qld. It held the flood water back successfully, which came to within about 6 inches from the top. I believe the fence we used was a New Zealand invention at the time. They work very well and are assembled quickly.
