Heavy rainfall has caused flooding and landslides in Scotland, with some areas receiving more than two weeks worth of rain in two days.
As of 9 October, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) had 8 flood alerts in place, and 51 flood warnings. Two severe flood warnings were issued for Perth and Aviemore.
Though no casualties or injuries have been reported, the flooding has caused disruption throughout the country with the west and north particularly affected. Residents have been warned not to travel unless necessary and to avoid flooded areas.
14 people were rescued in Argyll and Bute when landslides on a road trapped them in their cars. Roads and railways lines are disrupted by both landslides and floods.
The heavy rainfall began on 6 October and continued through the day afterwards. Though the rain weakened on 8 October, more rain is expected in the following days.
