SCHOOLS across the country have been forced to close as Storm Babet wreaks havoc.
The killer storm claimed its third victim today after a man died when a tree fell on his truck in Angus, Scotland and another man was killed after being swept away in fast-flowing flood water.

Yesterday, cops confirmed the body of a woman, 57, had been recovered from a river in Angus – where a red weather alert is in place.
The woman tragically died after heavy rains and winds swept her away as the storm raged on.
The Met Office has issued a slew of weather warnings, including alerts about potentially life-threatening amounts of rain and high winds that could cause power outages.
Today, forecasters sent out another rare red weather warning for part of eastern Scotland, indicating a danger to life, due to further torrential rainfall expected on Saturday.
The warning – for “exceptionally heavy and persistent rain” – is in place from midnight on Saturday to 11:59pm on the same day.
Due to the heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding many schools have shut their doors.
