How to stay safe in the storm
THIS is the Met Office's advice to people in the Storm Kathleen warning zone:
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance.
It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves.
Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea.
Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead.
In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly.
When a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
Expert Vincent Fitzsimons said: "Scotland is braced for impacts from Storm Kathleen including very high winds and coastal flooding.
"On top of already high tides, Kathleen will bring a storm surge and large waves.
"This combination is particularly dangerous, especially around high tides.
"There is real danger to life from wave overtopping, particularly around causeways, coastal roads and paths.
"Disruption to travel and infrastructure is possible, as is isolated flooding to coastal properties and communities.
"While the risk is greatest around high tide times, our message is clear: take extra care if you are near the coast at any point and stay well clear of waves and water.
"Be careful when travelling around exposed coastal areas and don't walk or drive through flood water as there may be hidden hazards."
