People in Angus and south Aberdeenshire, as well as parts of Dundee and Perth and Kinross, have been urged to stay at home. The storm is expected to bring extreme rain, wind and flooding that could be a threat to life. Residents of more than 400 properties in the Brechin area have already been told to evacuate. It came amid fears that the River South Esk could burst its banks. The red weather warning came into effect and runs until noon on Friday, with amber and yellow warnings also in place in other areas of the UK until Saturday. The storm is predicted to bring about 220mm (8.5in) of rain in some areas of eastern Scotland, an amount close to the highest ever 24-hour total for a "rainfall day". Residents have been warned of a danger to life from fast flowing or deep floodwater, with extensive flooding to homes and businesses and landslips also possible. There have also been reports of high winds bringing down trees on several roads and thousands of homes are without power. |

Emergency services, including three ambulances, raced out to the Boeing 737-800 which landed in strong winds at 1.53pm. All flights in and out of the airport were temporarily halted with some arrivals diverted to other airports including Manchester. Three people have now died as the killer storm continues to wreak havoc. West Mercia Police today confirmed a man aged in his 60s had died after getting caught in fast-flowing flood water. A brook swamped a road in Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire - pulling the man under water this morning. Tragically he was found dead around two hours later with his family supported by specialist officers. The horror comes after a man died after a tree struck his vehicle in Angus in Scotland. https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/...trip=all&w=460 He has been named as John Gillan, 56. https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/...trip=all&w=960 |
