Of course, the fact-checkers got involved with this one.

Brad Habuda, behind the Twitter account @bradhabuda, shared a clip of what appeared to be a shark in the flood waters after Hurricane Ian struck Florida on Wednesday (28 September).

“Somehow a shark ended up in a Fort Myers neighborhood during Hurricane Ian,” his post’s caption read.

caused a stir online because, for years, a picture of a shark swimming on a highway would always go viral after hurricanes, only to be repeatedly debunked as false.

Habuda’s upload of the video has garnered more than 3,900 likes and 10.7 million views. It was also picked up @US_Stormwatch, where it received over 78,900 views.
