Storm Otto has hit the UK bringing strong gales and rain to several parts of Scotland, with the Met Office warning the weather could pose a "danger to life".
This is because people could potentially be hit by items ripped up by the wind, with garden items such as sheds being particularly dangerous if they aren't secured. As well posing a risk of injury, it can also cause chaos for public transport if these things end up on train tracks, causing delays and disruption.
ScotRail has warned people to make sure their garden items are firmly held down, writing on Twitter: "With very windy weather on the way, if you live by the railway please secure your garden furniture and items such as trampolines, to avoid them blowing onto tracks and disrupting services."
