Storm Dudley cleanup operation continues as gales uproot trees across Falkirk

The cleanup operation is continuing after Storm Dudley uprooted trees across Falkirk last night.

A number of main roads were blocked as gale force winds battered the district.

Falkirk Council said their standby teams worked throughout the night in "dangerous conditions".

In Grangemouth, a car hit a tree that had fallen on Beancross Road, but thankfully nobody was injured.

A driver also has a lucky escape after a tree almost landed on top of his car in Linlithgow.

A Falkirk Council spokesperson said: "We had teams working throughout the evening in dangerous conditions to clear fallen trees from the road network.

"Work is continuing but please take care if travelling."

More severe weather is on the way - a Met Office snow and wind warning in place for tomorrow, Friday February 18.

Storm Eunice will bring gales and heavy snow to the district, with up to 5cm possible at low levels.
