More than 350 homes have been told to leave the Scots town.
Residents in Brechin have been told to evacuate their homes amid a 'danger to life' warning as Storm Babet is set to batter Scotland.
Rest centres have been set up Brechin Community Campus, Montrose Sports Centre and Forfar Community Campus and nearby hotels are also going to be offering refuge. Angus Council told the Record that they are working with partner agencies to "evacuate properties identified at most risk."It comes after the Met Office issued a rare red weather warning for parts of Angus and Aberdeenshire. From 6pm there is "danger to life from fast-flowing or deep floodwater".
Some 238mm of rain was measured at Sloy Main Adit in Argyll & Bute between 9am on January 17 1974 and 9am the following day. Flood Duty Manager Pascal Lardet said: “Scotland has already experienced a significant flood event this month, which communities are still recovering from, and some of the rainfall totals forecast for this week are higher than experienced over that weekend – albeit in some different areas. We’re expecting extensive river and surface water flooding in affected areas, with widespread impacts to transport and infrastructure.
