    The Met Office has issued another red "danger to life" warning as Storm Babet continues to wreak havoc across the country.<\/p>\n

    The rare weather warning is in place for parts of eastern Scotland all day today (October 21) after some parts of the UK was month and a half of rainfall in just three days. Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf warned: "We have not seen the last of this."<\/p>\n

    And it's not just Scotland affected by the inclement weather \u2013 director of flood strategy and adaptation at the Environment Agency Julie Foley warned more than 360 flood warnings had been issued across the country. "It's really important, actually, that people stay vigilant and they check the status of flood warnings," she told the BBC.<\/p>\n

    A yellow warning for wind also remains in place until 12pm across the north east of England and eastern Scotland.<\/p>\n

    The storm has already claimed the lives of three people, with the most recent victim \u2013 a 57-year-old man \u2013 killed in fast-flowing water in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire, last night. Two members of the public were also confirmed dead on Wednesday (October 18) and early on Friday morning, with horrendous weather caused by Storm Babet deemed the main factor in both instances.<\/p>\n

    Some 55,000 people were also left without power on Friday (October 20) as a result of the storm. Around 45,000 of those were reconnected to the grid as of that evening, the Energy Networks Association said.<\/p>\n
