The City of Tampa has announced a massive cleanup effort after back-to-back hurricanes swept through the area. Crews have already collected over 1 million cubic yards of storm debris, a volume so immense it could fill the Rivergate Tower, also known as the “Beer Can Building,” three times over.
The Immense Scale of Storm Cleanup
To put this into perspective, the city explained that the collected debris would require 10,000 rail cars or could fill more than 300 Olympic-sized pools. This staggering volume reflects the immense impact of the hurricanes and the effort required to restore normalcy.
