Two people have died, hundreds have been left homeless and services across Tayside and Fife have faced major disruption after Storm Babet hit the region.
Huge volumes of rain and strong winds battered Angus, Dundee, Perth and Kinross and Fife between Thursday and Saturday.
The storm claimed the lives of 57-year-old Wendy Taylor, who was swept into the Water of Lee in Glen Esk on Thursday afternoon, and John Gillan, 56, from Arbroath, whose van was hit by a tree near Forfar.
Residents in Brechin have been told they may never be able to return home and others in Dundee are counting the cost of flooding in their homes.
While many areas are returning to normality, some disruption is continuing – including in Brechin where power cuts are still affecting properties.
Stretches of the A90 south of Forfar and north of Brechin have now reopened, though the road remains shut between the two towns.
The A92 has reopened between Melville Lodges Roundabout and the Parbroath junction in Fife, under temporary traffic lights.
Several local roads across Tayside and Fife remain closed with councils issuing updates through their social media channels.
All schools in Angus are open as normal on Monday.
However, S5 and S6 pupils at Harris Academy in Dundee are being told to stay at home after damage to the building.
Trains across Tayside and Fife have also returned to normal for the first time since Wednesday.
Most Stagecoach bus services are running as normal except:
- X7 running between Montrose and Perth only (due to North Water Bridge and A90 closures)
- 21/21A only operating between Dundee and Forfar due to road closure (unable to serve Stracathro Hospital)
- 30 not serving Stracathro until further notice
- Some Blairgowrie services cancelled due to flooding and road closures
- 57 running but subject to significant delays due to diversion between Blairgowrie and Coupar angus
- 36 diverting from Auchtermuchty to Newburgh via the A91 and the B937 then normal route
And most leisure facilities and attractions that were forced to close across Tayside and Fife are reopening on Monday – but check with individual operators.
