Storm Gerrit: A9 reopens but disruption continues after storm

Ειδήσεις Ελλάδα

Storm Gerrit has brought widespread disruption across Scotland, with much of the country battered by snow, high winds and heavy rain.

The A9 reopened on Wednesday night after motorists stranded by the snow were freed.

However, disruption to public transport caused by the storm will last into Thursday morning.

Some areas have been hit by flooding, including the Fife town of Cupar and the Whitesands area of Dumfries.

About 16,000 properties in the north of Scotland were still without power on Wednesday night.

Much of Scotland was covered by a Met Office yellow weather warning on Wednesday.

A yellow warning covering Shetland extended until 06:00 on Thursday morning.

The Scottish government said it had activated its resilience operation.
