Nicholas Bauer shows us the flood wall the T has started putting in place to keep Henri from flooding the Blue Line tunnel just down Long Wharf from the soon-to-be-angry sea. The T also has another wall it can swing shut in the Fenway to keep the Muddy River, no longer quite so angry due to Army Corps of Engineers work, out of the Green Line tunnel to Kenmore Square.

The southern entrance to the station is pretty close to the water.

Does it mean the Aquarium will be closed as well?
Does this work?

And does anyone have a picture of it in operation? I'd love to see that!
I think this is the first time they'll be trying it

They've used sandbags in the past (same at the Fenway portal).

AquaFence and Flood Control America/International.
They're demountable flood barriers and the downside is having a place nearby to store them when not in use. And including time in the off season to practice deploying them. The bottom slat has a gasket/seal as does in between each slat. Cool engineering.

Will the homeless be allowed to seek refuge in T stations during the storm?

We have Aquafences, but I haven't seen them put to use yet. This is being set up a couple of days in advance of Henri, but I've heard that they only take a couple of hrs to set up around a fairly large building if needed.
