With maximum sustained wind gusts of more than 240 kmph, Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida, United States, on Wednesday. Streets, neighborhoods, and highways were completely drowned as a result of the Category 4 storm’s surges, which reached nearly 12 feet in certain locations along the Florida coast. With the water levels rising, not only are millions of people stranded in their houses without electricity, but aquatic animals have also found their way to these flooded streets.
One of them appears to be a young shark.
Using a video of what appears to be a shark swimming through flooded Fort Myers, Florida neighborhoods, Twitter user Brad Habuda said, “Somehow a shark ended up in a Fort Myers neighborhood during Hurricane Ian.” Over 9.5 million people have now watched the video on the social networking site.
Ed Bell filmed something in Devonwood. a neighborhood immediately west of Route 41 in South Fort Myers,” Habuda continued.
However, some online users have mixed feelings regarding this particular movie. Some people have noted that the video’s timeframe is illogical. When the video was allegedly recorded, the storm surge had not yet reached the neighborhood, according to the video’s poster.
“Don’t believe this is true. The video’s index indicates that it was made in June 2010. One person continued, “The storm surge wasn’t that at 10 AM, but someone else uploaded it at 10 AM as being in Fort Myers.
Many viewers of the video have also commented that they had seen it circulate on social media numerous times in the past, which has raised the possibility that the film was shot many years ago.
This video is an old scam that spreads like wildfire almost every time a cyclone strikes.
