Scotland has been battered by Storm Babet, with a third person dying amid the severe weather. A 56-year-old man was killed when his van hit a tree near Forfar, while a 67-year-old woman was swept to her death in the Water of Lee. A rare red weather warning is in effect in northeast Scotland, while amber and yellow warnings cover the UK. England has seen homes flooded, transport disruptions, and road and school closures. A jet skidded off a runway at Leeds Bradford Airport, which is now closed, due to wet and windy conditions. Wales is also facing flooding that has closed schools and caused travel problems. Storm Babet is causing chaos and dangerous conditions across the UK, with three confirmed deaths so far in Scotland.
