from being located. Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
are. High winds and heavy rain | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
are continuing across the east and north east of Scotland, | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
hampering efforts to repair the damage caused | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
by last week's storm. There are still dozens | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
of flood warnings in place A common scene on street after | :00:17. | :00:32. | |
street, the effect of last Wednesday's floods are still being | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
felt. Residents emptying their homes of their sodden possessions. Water | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
levels are knee-high after three days of heavy, persistent rain, but | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
nowhere near the freak conditions that cause the devastation last | :00:47. | :00:59. | |
week. In nearby Braemar, a local stream burst its banks. We have been | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
involved in evacuating quarters, these are residential flats, and | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
there have been 45 people evacuated, and also evacuating another area. | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
The water is rising up to six inches per hour now. Back here, the | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
clean-up continued. This is where you can see the full extent of the | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
havoc caused by Storm Frank. Hardly a camper van or holiday home has | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
been left undamaged. Many have been swept down the river. Some people | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
have lost everything. All gone down the river. I don't know if they will | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
rebuild the site. There's the danger of it happening again, isn't there? | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
Caravan park flooded for a second time in a week. Thankfully, the | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
residents had been moved out. Built in the 16th century to be | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
impregnable, this castle near about moral looking rather vulnerable. The | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
banks of the river swept away. The owner of the castle, one of those | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
who had to be rehoused. The nearby village of Braemar has | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
been virtually cut off Our reporter Andrew Anderson managed | :02:35. | :02:35. | |
to get there and has been finding The rain continues to full here in | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
Braemar today. Torrents of water continued to come down the rivers. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
This village is virtually cut off to the outside world, certainly to | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
vehicles. We are told the road to the south is closed at the moment | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
but the main problem is on the bridge. It carries the main road out | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
of the village to and from Aberdeen. One part of the bridge has been | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
badly damaged by the sheer force of the water coming down the river. We | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
are now thinking the levels are peaking on the river so we can start | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
to mobilise and get our temporary works in and we will be working as | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
fast as we can to get this bridge repaired. There are also power cuts | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
here in the village but the main worry was when telephone lines went | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
down. Satellites for communications were put in the town square to make | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
sure urgent communications could be made to the outside world if they | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
were needed. Villagers are trying to get on with everyday life as they | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
can. But it has been a challenging few days for them. We tried to get | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
the doctor out and a fire crew from Dundee were sent here. And the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
coastguard would have come on gifted people had they needed it. This rain | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
is forecast for the next couple of days. There is no talk of getting | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
the Army in to help restore the village's links with the outside | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
world but it will be some weeks at least before things get back to | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
normal. -- there is now talk. Other major rivers have | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
again burst their banks, Tonight, homes in Inverurie | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
have been evacuated due Perth is a town that knows all about | :04:23. | :04:36. | |
flooding, yet it was caught a little off-guard this afternoon. The river | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
rose more quickly than expected with the floodgates down at Queensbridge. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Around the corner, firefighters pumped water from this building. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Further north, they worked hard to keep the water at bay. This | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
childminder is still clearing up after her house and business were | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
flooded out last week. It is distressing because it happened so | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
quickly. It is surprising how quickly it moves and the force with | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
which it comes in, and it is hardest for the children, trying to keep | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
them calm. With farmland already saturated, the water had nowhere | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
else to go. This is the sorry sight of Angus. This car is only aid of | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
the visible down the road. And in Inverurie, this car got stuck. Here | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
impress your the roads have been closed as the bad weather continues | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
this afternoon and police up and down the country are warning drivers | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
not to disobey the signs. In the Borders two people have been | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
charged. It is simple- do not drive through a "Close road" sign. If the | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
road is closed you must take a different route. Some householders | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
decided it was time to leave as the river rose. It has been coming | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
through and further up the last couple of hours. Just moved | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
everything. We've just prepared. Put things as high up as we can and | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
moved out, so we've at least had time to get ready, which a lot of | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
places don't have time, and nobody is hurt. So far, firefighters on | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
stand-by, eight common sight across the country, as they sit and wait. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
-- a common sight. Meanwhile, the main West Coast rail | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
line between Glasgow and Carlisle A viaduct north of Lockerbie, | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
damaged during last week's storm, A bus journey was not what they | :06:34. | :06:46. | |
wanted. There are no trains on the West Coast Main Line so passengers | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
in Glasgow central today were being sent by Buster Carlyle. It will add | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
around an hour to their journeys. -- by bus to Carlisle. Just hope for | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
the best. I'm a bit upset, to be honest, because I've got two young | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
kids and it's supposed to be a direct route, but it is the weather, | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
right? It is because of this. The pier that supports the bridge is | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
looking damaged and investigations are continuing but they are being | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
hampered by continuing bad weather. So for the meantime, you can travel | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
two ways from Scotland. I do get a bus from Glasgow orbit on train from | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Edinburgh and go down the East Coast Main Line. Virgin Rail train tickets | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
will be accepted for these journeys. -- or get on a train. Engineers have | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
been working around the clock in extremely difficult conditions to | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
gain access to the viaduct so we can understand the scale of the damage | :07:54. | :07:54. | |
that has been caused by the storm. Network Rail say they are hoping | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
replacement buses like these will be a thing of the past by the end of | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
January. They say they are working hard to repair the viaduct. The | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
problem is, a lot of the work is needed to be done under water and | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
the weather is still hampering efforts, so hopefully by the | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
beginning of the brewery, services will be back to normal. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
The A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful has been closed overnight due | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
to fears that a giant boulder above the route could fall. | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
Inspections after a landslip discovered the 150-tonne boulder, | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
which also threatens the diversion route along the Old Military Road. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
The alternative diversion via Dalmally is currently being used. | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
The route is due to re-open at 9am in the morning. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Work will then get under way to remove the rock using explosives. | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
Well, now, what else but the weather forecast? | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
Good evening. We've had some incessant rain across eastern | :08:49. | :09:02. | |
Scotland and this is the reason why. We had an area of low pressure | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
across Wales and its been generating weather front of the weather front, | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
and those stuck over eastern Scotland, with easterly winds in, | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
bringing more rain. There is still this second level of warning for | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
rain from the Met Office, and Amber warning, so we would expect to see | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
further spells of localised flooding and travel disruption as well. That | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
has been extended to seek -- to Teesside and Angus tomorrow right | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
through to lunchtime. We will see the rain pulling in across eastern | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Scotland and a number of yellow warnings as well. The aware of the | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
possibility of localised flooding. Much drier picture across western | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
Scotland. A more static picture. We still have that driving easterly | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
wind bringing showers into the Northern Isles as well. Further rain | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
to come across eastern Scotland, cold enough to turn to snow on | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
higher ground, holding onto the sunny weather across the north-west | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
frequent showers for Northern Ireland, especially for Wales and | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
down towards the south-west, with a number of yellow warnings south of | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
the border. Do check the website for the details. Further north, the | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
temperatures get lower. The rain keeps piling in across eastern | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Scotland with some snow in the mix of a higher ground for tomorrow | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
evening. Dry in the West. A gradual improvement on Wednesday but Tay 's | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
-- stays cold and turns windy. | :10:43. | :10:45. |
