Scotland - Flooding shuts schools and disrupts travel, with severe weather warnings in place and ‘highest risk to riverside communities’. Police Scotland have “stood down” searches for a woman who was swept into the River Don near Inverurie in Aberdeenshire on Friday as heavy rain continued to batter much of eastern Scotland. Schools have closed, roads were left impassable and rail journeys severely disrupted as heavy rain drenched parts of Scotland. Elsewhere in the UK, rivers burst their banks, sometimes trapping drivers, after the torrential downpours on Thursday.
