:00:12. > :00:15.to clean up after Storm Frank. The Met Office has issued amber "be
:00:16. > :00:18.prepared" warnings for rain in much of north-east, and central Scotland,
:00:19. > :00:21.tonight and tomorrow. Our reporter Aileen Clarke
:00:22. > :00:39.is in Ballater, which was flooded Cisse, ballot was very badly
:00:40. > :00:44.affected by floods last week. They are giving up tonight in case more
:00:45. > :00:49.floodwater is coming this way in the next few days. We are trying their
:00:50. > :00:53.best to prevent it. There is a sandbag operation going on down by
:00:54. > :00:57.the golf course this evening. That is the route the waters came before.
:00:58. > :01:01.We're hoping to keep out any more floodwater and doing their best to
:01:02. > :01:04.alleviate that. I heard more about the operation that is happening
:01:05. > :01:08.tonight from the chief Executive of Aberdeenshire Council. We're
:01:09. > :01:13.standing at the road where the river was coming through coming along here
:01:14. > :01:16.and flooding properties behind us, so we have mobilised our defences
:01:17. > :01:24.and put them at this point in anticipation the water will take the
:01:25. > :01:30.same path again. Behind me you might just see lights burning upstairs,
:01:31. > :01:35.this is where they approached and I is being correlated from. There are
:01:36. > :01:40.people here from the Scottish Hydro board trying to reconnect people.
:01:41. > :01:43.But it is not just Ballater badly affected, Braemar was badly affected
:01:44. > :01:49.as well, and the bridge over to Braemar was out of action, it is
:01:50. > :01:53.crumbling after the water. There are big problems there because there is
:01:54. > :01:57.no phone signal, no landlines, no mobile phones. I had from the police
:01:58. > :02:03.that there will be to sort that out this evening. British Telecom are
:02:04. > :02:06.providing an emergency telecommunication centre next in the
:02:07. > :02:12.Fife Arms Hotel, and the Red Cross are providing a similar facility to
:02:13. > :02:17.assist the affected community. People will be will to make phone
:02:18. > :02:28.calls tonight hopefully? That is our understanding and are open. -- that
:02:29. > :02:32.is our hope. The problem is this persistent rain. Has been raining
:02:33. > :02:38.all day, that is what the forecast is. And the ground is already very
:02:39. > :02:43.sodden. People are watching and waiting to see what happens to the
:02:44. > :02:47.river when all the water comes down off the hill. They are hoping there
:02:48. > :02:50.is no snowmelt. If the temperature stays the way it is at the moment we
:02:51. > :02:54.hope it will not be as bad, but everyone here tonight is very much
:02:55. > :02:58.watching and waiting and doing what they can in the meantime.
