Storm Babet persists in battering the UK, causing widespread flooding and chaos. Three people have died, and one person remains missing in Aberdeenshire. High winds and torrential rain prompted a second red alert within a week, primarily affecting Angus and Aberdeenshire. Six Scottish football matches have been postponed, and ScotRail suspended several train lines. Brechin witnesses severe flooding, described as a "scene of carnage." Leeds Bradford Airport is set to reopen, but around 13,000 households remain without power. Authorities urge caution as the storm rages on, with more torrential rain expected.
