Storm Ciara is causing chaos across Scotland and the effects are being seen right here in Glasgow.
Shocking pictures from the banks of the Clyde show the river walkway has been completely flooded after the city was battered with high winds and heavy rain.
The Glasgow Humane Society shared pictures of the high tide under the King Georve V Bridge and the Caledonian Railway Bridge in a warning to pedestrians.

They wrote: "These were the water levels at high tide today under the Caledonian Railway Bridge & the George V Bridge.
"Please don’t attempt to walk through this as there may be debris under the water & the current is exceptionally strong".
Yesterday they added: "Please stay safe along the river with the strong winds, and remember if you see a person in the water phone 999 and quote the nearest GPS sign."

Further west, the Glasgow Times has also received images from local man Paul Johnstone (above) of the River Clyde having burst its banks at Yoker and Renfrew, next to the Renfrew Ferry slipway.
Council staff could be seen putting out sandbags, with the Yoker landing stage for the 'Island Trader' ferry also flooded.
It comes as the Met Office has increased its weather warnings in the wake of Storm Ciara.
Glasgow is now forecast for heavy snow, wind and ice conditions until Wednesday lunchtime.
Throughout today, there has been widespread travel disruption and power cuts as a result of the poor conditions.
Police Scotland have also advised people to only use 999 in a "genuine emergency" amid a significant increase in calls.
They posted online: "BT's 999/112 service is currently experiencing a significant and continued increase in calls due to Storm Ciara affecting large parts of the UK.
"Please only use 999 in the event of a genuine emergency to allow urgent calls to be promptly handled."
