Aerial footage shared by Britain’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency shows the scale of Storm Babet flooding in the Scottish countryside.
“Communities across the UK have been badly hit by Storm Babet. This was the result in Scotland,” the coastguard wrote, sharing the footage on social media, urging residents to stay safe.
People in up to 100 homes across Angus, East Scotland, have been rescued from flooded buildings, with some airlifted out, a local authority official has said.
In Bridge of Dun, residents were airlifted out via helicopter, while in other areas those stranded were rescued by boats, including canoes.
