Storm Henry brought further treacherous conditions and high winds of up to 90mph on Monday.
Train services were cancelled on the west coast, with five flood warnings and 12 flood alerts issued in Scotland.
Police warned people to be prepared for difficult driving conditions and disruption to travel, while fire and rescue crews remained on standby while the extreme weather continued unabated.
A spokesman for the service said: “Officers continued to monitor the situation as the effects of the storm were felt, while resources were put in place to support local communities using specialist equipment.
“This was to prevent and reduce the impact of possible flooding on domestic and commercial properties and ultimately keep them safe, while preparing for the expected weather.”
