North Sea storm surge warning

November 9, 2007 - Storms across northwest Europe - caused by the remnants of Hurricane Noel coinciding with a tidal surge - prompted German, Dutch and British governments to issue flood warnings. Strong winds and the highest tides for 50 years sliced down the North Sea, threatening low-lying coastal areas. Graphic shows details of London's Thames Barrier and the Maeslant Barrier protecting Rotterdam, Europe's largest port.

EDITORS - SHOWCASE: Although Graphic News’ graphics come in a “box” the information and elements can be “taken out of the box” and used as a resource to create new graphics and page designs. In the Telegraph in 2014, Joel Gunter and Mark Oliver used this graphic as a resource for their feature on how the Thames Barrier works (see link below), seven years after the original graphic was created.
