A yellow warning was in place for Fife, and much of Scotland, yesterday, with north-east Fife bearing the brunt of the impact. The downpours caused the River Eden to burst, and drainage systems couldn’t cope.
Residents in the town’s Kinloss Park area have spent today mopping up and trying to assess the damage, while teams from Fife Council have been out clearing debris from flooded roads.
It came after a day of drama which saw emergency services rescue some people from their flooded homes - people could also be carrying family pets through waist-high floodwater to safety.
