Houses 'shook' after a thunderstorm appeared 'in the blink of an eye', causing heavy rainfall and flooding across Manchester on Sunday .
On Sunday afternoon, many parts of Manchester were suddenly hit by the torrential downpours that caused roads to flood and even left some people trapped in their cars after they became submerged under a railway bridge.Videos shared with the Manchester Evening News captured the moment the rail suddenly started lashing down. Festival-goers at Parklife were also hindered after the sky clouded over and performances were temporarily stopped due to fears over lightning strikes.
