People who have evacuated their homes may not be able to return before Christmas
A second person has died as Storm Babet after a falling tree hit a van near Forfar in Angus, killing the 56-year-old driver. It comes after the body of a 57-year-old woman swept into a river in Angus was recovered on Thursday.
The warning covers all day on Saturday. There are fears that people who had to flee their homes because of the “unprecedented” floods caused by Storm Babet may not be able to re-enter until after Christmas. Rescue operations are underway in the Scottish town of Brechin, Angus, after flood defences were breached in the early hours of the morning, leading to hundreds of homes being surrounded by water.
Gavin Nicol said the town’s flood barriers are 3.8 metres high but the Scottish Environment Protection Agency has warned the water could reach 5.0 metres. He said: “With the amount of rain we’re getting it might even supersede that.Mr Nicol, Conservative representative for the Brechin and Edzell Ward on Angus Council, said high tide at about 5pm on Friday could pose a particular problem. He said: “My thoughts go out to those affected.
She told the PA news agency: “It is bad down there. We’ve been here since seven o’clock.” Ms Taylor said there were “a lot” of other people in the rest centre. Councillor and Brechin resident, Chris Beattie, said some people in the Angus town remain stranded because rescue crews cannot reach them due to the flooding. He said: “The bottom of the town is under about five or six feet of water.
