More than 350 households in Brechin, eastern Scotland, have been ordered to evacuate as floods are expected from Storm Babet, while parts of northern England, the Midlands and Wales could also be affected by flooding in the coming days.

The Met Office has issued a rare red weather alert from 6pm on Thursday in Scotland, referring to a “danger to life from fast-flowing or deep flood water” in Aberdeenshire and Angus. An updated warning now covers Perth and Dundee and some surrounding areas.

If you have been affected by Storm Babet, we would like to hear from you. Have you had to leave your home? Where are you now and what is your situation?

Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and security are most important. When recording, or sharing your content with us, please put your welfare and the welfare of others first. Extreme weather events can be very unpredictable and carry very real risks.
