LONDON: Thousands of people in Britain face a second day of flooding and tidal surges after a powerful storm with hurricane-force gusts roared across northern Europe.
The storm prompted evacuations along the eastern English coast after Britain's Environment Agency warned the country could face its worst tidal surge in 60 years.
The Thames Barrier — a series of huge metal plates that can be raised across the entire river— is set to be closed for a second time in as many days to protect London from the surge.
Norway, Denmark and Germany were also hit by the storm.
In Hamburg, Germany's second-biggest city, the water rose about 13 feet (4 meters) above average flood levels Friday, hitting heights rarely seen and parts of the city's busy port were shut.
