nonsense. Doesn't work like that. Can make things worse and cause subsidence along the banks. This was one of a pair of super-high astrological tides around some eclipses. I watched them happen on the Thames as well on those days.
My best wishes goes to everyone along the Tyne. I live in the U.S. now, but my family is from Newcastle upon Tyne, and my heart is broken seeing this damage.
Calm down, mate! It's a a bit wetter than normal, coinciding with the spring tide! It's hardly biblical. Your thoughts might be with the people of Newcastle but really, mate, they're going to be fine.
Bless you and your lovely Geordie accent….my Mum was a Geordie from ConsettCounty Durham. I sued to go up there many a time and I’ve been to Corbridge too……I haven’t been up Geordie land for ages though
Hi Eddie, I believe the river isn't dredged because of all the nasties in the silt after years of heavy industries, It would be great to deepen the river to prevent flooding but a environment disaster disaster for all the fish, crabs ect living in the river. Tuesdays events were out of the ordinary with very high tides and heavy rain at the same time! Cheers Mark!
They don’t use a suction dredger any more but the rivers depth is maintained by towing a large gate type bar which lifts the silt and the current takes it away . The flooding is due to low pressure which basically means you get higher tides due to less pressure on the water surface , when you get spring tides which are the highest of the high tides combined with low pressure storms system with lots of access water coming into the Tyne from the hills etc you get a bottle neck of water ..the Tyne is tidal so at high tide the water coming down can’t get out until the tide turns .The quayside at the fish market where the swing bridge actually dips and is lower than the other parts of the quayside hence why the Tyne breaches here ,,,
Its because the tyne is no longer dredged for shipping, the silt and mud builds up leaving less room for the water. They need to start dredging the river along the quayside to stop it flooding
@@TynesideLife Same here in the Lincolnshire Fens, most of the rivers have been left to silt up by the Environment agency as they claim they have no money to do the dredging. Funny how the goverment can find £6m a day to house those who shouln't be here though.
Dredging in Sunderland ended up digging up all sorts of nasty toxins from the industrial era that killed a vast amount of sea life. So sometimes there are unintended consequences!
Dredging isn't always the solution, without a detailed survey it would just be a guess and the next big tide could reverse months of work rendering it pointless.
Wow! I used to live just off the quayside - and I never, ever saw the river levels rise to that extent! Hope it subsides soon, and doesn’t breach the defences (coming from Bewdley in Worcs - where it floods most years, and although we have some excellent flood barriers, the river level has breached the defences twice in the last couple of years).
Wow I’m from North Shields and it’s not to bad down here. But it normally floods the quayside. This rain is crazy I’ve never seen so much. I’m a golfer and I’ve had only 7 games since last October 2023 as my course gosforth has been closed lots of times it’s a nightmare . Cheers Eddie a good update pal.
Another great video, Eddy. I lived in Durham for over 20 years and saw the Wear breach the banks in the city many times but I've never seen it happen in Newcastle ever. Hopefully there has been little damage to properties.
Love to everyone and my thoughts are with you all, hoping that the situation improves on Tyneside from Ayrshire! I'm Scottish but my dad's mother, sister as well as her daughter were from Ashington in Northumberland, used to holiday a lot around Northumberland and Country Durham as well as day trips to Newcastle and the Metrocentre then I quickly fell in love with the area.
"British author and former sheep farmer Philip Walling wrote an article in the (Newcastle) Chronicle that highlights one of the causes of the recent North-West England floods - which is the near complete cessation of dredging of British rivers since the government was required to accept the European Water Framework Directive (EWF) into UK law in 2000."
There was some guy commenting on here about the cost of flood defences for the Tyne river. He worked on the river maintainece team, years ago. Their job was to regularly remove sludge from the bottom of the river. Taking the sludge further up and further out of the Tyne. This lowered the river bed, preventing the Tyne from bursting its banks. But he believes this is not done any more. So the Tyne will burst its banks now, as is proven today. Why is it, councils do not know this? Waisting council taxes on new flood defences. Because they neglected to maintain the river properly for years. The answer is obviously to remove the sludge from the river bed as, historicly, previously done.
Why marra, it's just as well the Toon was saved there could have been hundreds of pounds in damages? luckily God spared Sunderland his favourite city. Would have been the first bath some in the west end had for a while? looking forward to the plague of locusts. In the comical it also said Ashghanistan was almost cut off, that will only result in more inbreeding and horses on the roads, most excitement there since the Primark sale.
The river tyne I see it everday from my workplace window, was only saying to my boss last saturday 6th april, " the tyne looks high today ", have seen the tyne on many occasions over the years burst its banks newcastle quayside, read a report years back that metal flood barriers where going to be placed on the newcastle quayside end, them councillors man, I know on the gateshead side the river is 13 foot ( 4 metres ) above sea level. The keilder dam also on occasion releases water into our rivers and streams, which causes the tyne to rise.
I was asking Bing's Co-pilot yesterday what that flood likelihood would be like for Britain with rising water levels.. And then the NE. And this was just yesterday :S And now this video O_O Bloody hell.
This is a common occurrence with high spring tides. Council used to deal with it quietly, now we have the environment agency making a big song and dance. Not so many years ago it was all the way along to the law courts. All we really have there is a big puddle behind the guildhall. Probably requires a £50 million council tax increase to solve this.
Well Eddie, if you don't dredge any river mate and you've solar eclipses or full moons going on expect flooding to be the norm due to the gravitational forces.
The tyne is not getting dredged like it use too, if you go further up stream to Newcastle Business park, opposite dunstan staithes at low tide he silt is close to closing the river on both banks.
this part of the river used to flood all the time, I worked in Tyne bridge tower and the fish quay was always under water with the high spring tides. watching the cars going up to their axels in seawater was nerve wracking. I would never park over there.
Probably not helped by the recent eclipse, funnily enough. We get spring tides every two weeks, where the tides are really high. The Sun and the Moon pull along the same straight line, but being so perfectly aligned as to cause an eclipse might increase that effect.
Hi Eddie, Remember last year all those dead shell fish after they dredged the Tees, Of course no evidence was found, It was only a coincidence that they dredged the river for lord Ben Houchens projects and all the shell fish died 😂😂😂😂, Our Tyne is now a clean river some say best salmon river in England, I remember in 70'S it stank walking along those rickitie wooden surfaces. A different world now. Cheers Mark.
And I bet their will still be a hosepipe ban this summer. 😂 As for flooding rivers and estuarys the problem is they aren't managed like they use to be, they aren't dredged and fill with silt and rubbish.
2015 was the highest the Tyne has been since 1771, is this higher? Floods are more frequent because of development on the floodplains, and in Newcastle the tides are a big influence especially with current moon phase.
I now live in Bedford. Recently the great Ouse burst its banks and flooded so much area. Fortunately its was all mostly flood plains. Bedford where I live north of the river is on a hill but low level was very close to flooding.
It's about time we opened up our rivers so they flow naturally and the sediment washes out to sea. We don't need the wiers that we installed back in the 1800s for the Mills. Half the problem is the rivers beds are higher due to sedimentation.
You’ll see the Lort Burn emptying into the Tyne from my shot earlier this afternoon. I’ve done a separate vide on the Lort Burn but that’s not the reason the Tyne has flooded
As someone who worked on the river in the mid sixties this is Spring and these are neiptides, this was a common thing every year and if the wind was blowing at flood time this is what you got. I came in one morning to my diving boat and couldn't get to my boat it was floating above the dock lock I had to wait untill it had ebbed a bit before I could board it, so this is not uncommon like climate changers would like you to believe.
They stopped dredging, It's to be expected that it will flood, the extra silt will cause the extra volume of spring water to overflow, it's got to go somewhere..
We live in Cornwalland it has been raining here since November.Maybe even late October.6/7 days a week, heavy rain.Its hit farming, my garden is soaked and all broccoli etc ruined.
