A woman died and families were trapped in flooded homes in Scotland on Friday as Storm Babet moved east after pounding Ireland. The UK's Met Office issued a rare red severe weather warning for parts of eastern Scotland up to 22 centimeters predicted for the early Friday.
Officials in the southern Irish county of Cork, where hundreds of homes and businesses were flooded earlier in the week, described the deluge there as the worst in at least 30 years. Emergency services were battling to reach trapped residents.
Train services meanwhile were being severely disrupted as far south as central England due to heavy rainfall and high winds. Some routes in northwest England and north Wales were completely closed due to flooding.
