A rest centre has been opened in Dundee after severe flooding hit the city.
Several roads to the north of the Kingsway are blocked by deep floodwater after extreme rainfall caused by Storm Babet.
That includes Claverhouse Road, where a number of vehicles have been abandoned in the floodwater.
Old Glamis Road at Gillburn Road in Kirkton is also flooded.
Dundee flooding: Council opens rest centre
Elsewhere in the city, water has flooded streets and properties in the Ardler and Downfield areas.
It comes after a “danger to life” rain warning was in place until noon.
A statement from Dundee City Council said: “We have opened DISC – the Dundee International Sports Complex in Mains Loan – as a rest centre for residents most in need due to the continuing severe weather.
“Please bring your own sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and any medication you need.
“Pets are welcome at our rest centres.
“If you need any assistance getting to DISC please call 01382 434000.”
Reverend minister Jean Kirkwood, from Stobswell Trinity Church, has come to the centre to offer help.
She said: “I’m from the church and this is my parish.
“I’m here to find out if I can help in any way.
“So far I’m not sure if any members of my church have been impacted.”
Around 70 council properties have reported damage due to the storm and 55 trees have fallen.
Several homes were affected by flooding at Harper Avenue next to Downfield golf course on Friday morning.
One resident said: “About 8am this morning we got a call from our neighbours on holiday, who have cameras, asking what was happening.
“Water had started to get in the kitchen by this point.
“There are about four properties affected but everyone’s mucking in to help each other out.
“I’ve never seen anything like it.
“The worry is the burn to the rear of the property overflows and floods the garden now.”
A resident said: “I’ve never seen it like this before, water is just rushing down the street.”
There are also reports of severe flooding at Heron Rise in Claverhouse and in fields to the north of Broughty Ferry.
The nearby Dighty Burn has burst its banks, with Emmock Road, heading out of Dundee at Trottick, also flooded.
One resident nearby said: “The burn has swelled so much, it’s like a river running through the north of Dundee.
“I just hope the water doesn’t rise any further because I fear for people’s properties if it does.
“I’ve already heard several sirens this morning so it seems like we are still in the grip of it.”
Further along the Dighty, the social club at Fairfield is said to be under 3ft of water.
The club’s Jim Sorrie said: “When we got in first thing there was no water inside, although the football pitches and car park were flooded.
“Five minutes later we were under 3ft of black water.
“It’s everywhere, every room in the club.
“We are absolutely devastated. It’s taken us 18 months to get back to normal after the last flooding and now this.
“It’s a total mess – there’s water everywhere.”
The Kingsway at Myrekirk, and the A90 between Dundee and Stonehaven, are both closed due to flooding.
Stagecoach has suspended its buses in Dundee due to the weather.
Xplore Dundee is continuing to run its services but says many are being diverted due to road closures.
