400 homes within the red weather warning area that they must leave &#8220;for their own safety&#8221; as Babet whips up vicious wind and rain.<\/p>\n<p>Angus Council said it had worked with the

Community Campus, Montrose Sports Centre, and Forfar Community Campus.<\/p>\n<p>In a follow-up statement, the council asked people planning to seek safety in one of the three centres to bring bedding, including sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and medication.<\/p>\n<p>But some residents do not plan to make use of the council shelters, with one Brechin local staying in his home despite the evacuation order<\/p>\n<p>John Stewart, 82, of Brechin, told the PA news agency he will not be leaving his home should the local authorities attempt to evacuate him.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Stewart, who previously had a wall built around his garden to protect his home, said: &#8220;I won&#8217;t be leaving because my wife won&#8217;t go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Around 10,000 homes in Scotland lost power due to the storm, according to the Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN).<\/p>\n<p>The energy provider said it has restored services to 7,000 homes and engineers were &#8220;working to reconnect&#8221; around 3,000 more properties.<\/p>\n<p>Mass train cancellations have been imposed by ScotRail, expected to last from Thursday until Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The storm could bring up to 200mm to 220mm of rain in some areas of eastern Scotland, an amount close to the highest ever 24-hour total for a &#8220;rainfall day&#8221;, Met Office figures show.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a
