Scottish vicar describes weather conditions which led to driver's death

Parts of the UK are braced for the most serious tidal surge for more than 60 years this evening. Most of the coastal areas at risk are in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex, although there are also warnings for north Wales and Kent. More than 10,000 homes are being evacuated. Earlier gales in Scotland brought down trees and power lines - more than 100,000 homes are without power.

There have also been travel problems forcing the closure of the road and rail network. And a driver's died in West Lothian after his lorry toppled over in high winds. 

Revd Murdo McDonald is from St. John's Parish Church in Bathgate near to where the fatal incident took place. 

He tells Premier conditions are beginning to improve. 

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
