Storm Babet is causing disruption across parts of Scotland.
Hundreds of residents have been told to evacuate their homes amid a red weather warning as Storm Babet sweeps across Scotland.
The Met Office has extended the weather warning from the initial warning area to cover the area north of Perth and Aberfeldy.Angus Council said: “Over the past few days, resilience colleagues have been working with Sepa to identify areas at most risk of flooding due to the unprecedented level of rain that is expected to fall across Angus.
He said the wall had successfully stopped water from getting in from the street previously where flooding was severe.He added: “The trouble is, the last time there was flooding we couldn’t get sandbags and ended up paying £3 each for them.Asked if he believes the council has a duty to supply such items to Brechin residents, he said they should “look after” the people in the area.
“I also thank all members of staff working in these atrocious conditions, keeping our residents as safe as humanly possible.”Stein Connelly, from Transport Scotland, said: “The existing red warning for Angus and South Aberdeenshire has been extended north of Perth up towards Stonehaven.
