The Closure of the Thames Barrier
The Closure of the Thames Barrier
Time lapse footage of the Thames Barrier's annual closure, 6 Oct 2013. The Thames Barrier is London's main defence against flooding in the event of a tidal surge. (Around 1m people, more than 10% of the population, live directly on the Thames flood plain). It was completed in 1982 since when it's closed over 120 times to prevent floods. Although the barrier is closed monthly for maintenance, a full tidal check only happens twice a year in the spring and the autumn.

Thames Barrier closing in time lapse, and water flows into park.
Full blog along with still images available at http://michaelsnasdell.blogspot.com/2014/01/high-tide-at-thames-barrier.html High tide, along with storm surge causing the Thames Barrier to be shut for the afternoon. While shut, the water level flooded the banks and into the park adjacent to the Thames Barrier (regular occurrence) Caught in time lapse. Edited to add some audio, so its not so dull to watch :) For the first 2 mins or so, if watched on a decent sized screen you can see the far barriers closing, and the water stop flowing through them. After this time the water begins rising more and breaches the bank. **Edited title and wording in first paragraph of description to avoid exaggerating the situation. Even though the RNLI, Thames Barrier, Police, and Environment Agency were happy with the description and retweeted it. Can't please everyone. ** **Title edited again as it still seems to be annoying people, hopefully this time its more user friendly and less panic inducing and scaremongering**- published: 04 Jan 2014

London Thames Barrier - U.K.
London Thames Barrier - U.K.
The Thames Barrier is the world's second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) and is located downstream of central London, United Kingdom. Operational since 1982, its purpose is to prevent the floodplain of all but the easternmost boroughs of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide it can be opened to enhance the river's flow towards the sea. Built approximately 3 km due east of the Isle of Dogs, its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The report of Sir Hermann Bondi on the North Sea flood of 1953 affecting parts of the Thames Estuary and parts of London was instrumental in the building of the barrier.- published: 27 Nov 2013

In Season Three of the hit competition series hosted by Mario Lopez, THE X FACTOR judges will travel the nation searching for talent 12 years old or over -- both solo artists and vocal groups -- who are willing to brave the panel for a chance to make their dreams of becoming a superstar come true. Auditions for THE X FACTOR were held this spring in Los Angeles, CA; Charleston, SC; New Orleans, LA; Long Island, NY; and Denver, CO. Contestants will audition in front of THE X FACTOR judges, including Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland, Paulina Rubio, and an audience of thousands. This will be the ultimate test to prove they have the vocal ability, charisma and stage presence it takes to become a global superstar or breakout music act and win a recording contract with Syco/Sony Music. Those contestants who survive the first auditions will be divided into four categories: Boys, Girls, Over 25s and Groups. Each category will be mentored by one of the show's judges. Not only is it a competition between the hopefuls to stake their claim for the coveted win, but it's also a showdown among the judges as to whose acts will dominate the competition and make it to the finals. The judges may have their say in how the competition progresses, but it will be up to America to decide who ultimately has THE X FACTOR.
