On April 5th, Storm Dave ripped through Greater Manchester Saturday night April 4th, toppling trees left and right across the region. Winds clocked in at up to 93 mph over in Stodonia, Wales, turning a quiet evening into chaos. Yellow wind warnings blanketed Greater Manchester overnight, while Amber alerts screaming danger to life hit the northwest, including most of, Lancashire. Come Sunday morning, April 5th, road shut down and trains ground to a halt from all the debris. Folks dealt with smash cars, block streets, and power glitches right in their neighborhoods. In Burnage, a massive tree crushed two park cars on Green Acres Drive and knocked out internet for the block, with cops taping it off quick. Over in Stockport's heat and more, another big one slammed the block of flats called College House, uprooting pavement and drawing fire crews to cordon. The spot. Meanwhile, up in Adlington, Lancashire, fallen trees jammed rail lines between Bolton and Preston, with overhead wires damaged too, keeping services. Busted as

crews sort the mess.
