A severe flood warning is set to be put in place for the Brechin River and South Esk area, Angus Council has said.
Those in the affected areas should leave their homes.
The council will be going door to door shortly and rest centres are being organised

Police Scotland advice is not to travel unless absolutely essential. The fewer vehicles on the road, the safer everyone will be and the better access for emergency services. People must understand that many roads will be flooded and not marked as closed. Do NOT attempt to drive through flooded roads. We are also expecting more fallen trees to create further hazards.
