There was chaos across Greater Manchester on Tuesday (January 10) as torrential rain battered the region. Busy roads were closed off as cars floated above the water, gardens were left submerged and the notorious A555 Airport Relief Road flooded ... again.
The Met Office issued two flood alerts for Greater Manchester, before heavy downpours fell across the city and beyond. Motorways and major roads were also hit by the flooding, causing chaos for drivers, with trains also halted or forced to run at reduced speeds, causing further delays.
Constant heavy showers left Crossley Road in Levenshulme 'impassable', with cars pictured floating atop the water after drivers had braved the flooded road, before emergency services were forced to block it off and rescue those stranded and trapped inside their vehicles.
