Storm Floris has blown through, wind speeds are dropping, and the Amber weather warning is due to expire at 11pm.
Council staff have been responding to issues throughout Monday and the clear up will continue tomorrow as services return to normal.
Some residents remain without power this evening, but SSEN will be working hard to get everyone back on the grid as soon as they can.
You can report power outages to SSEN by calling 105 and check Powertrack website https://powertrack.ssen.co.uk/powertrack where you can get details on power cuts and restoration times, and for information on their support package for customers impacted by power cuts.
While the storm has passed, it will continue to be blustery. There may be some debris on roads and pathways in Angus and elsewhere, so please drive with caution and be aware of what is going on around you wherever you are whatever you’re doing if you are outdoors.
And, if you can, please stay in touch with friends, family and neighbours, especially folks who are vulnerable or who live alone to make sure they are ok.
So, goodnight all. We’ll be back bright and perhaps a little breezy tomorrow morning, with any updates. Keep following our socials and our website for the latest information.
Sleep tight.

Storm Floris is causing some power outages across Angus. If you have a vulnerable neighbour, friend or family member - especially those who are living alone - and it is safe to do so, please check in with them to make sure they are ok.
