Video of ‘street shark’ spotted during Hurricane Ian defies belief

[Still Waters]

Photos and videos of sharks and other marine life swimming in suburban floodwaters make for popular hoaxes during massive storms. But a cellphone video filmed during Hurricane Ian’s assault on southwest Florida isn’t just another fish story.

The eye-popping video, which showed a large, dark fish with sharp dorsal fins thrashing around an inundated Fort Myers backyard, racked up more than 12 million views on Twitter within a day, as users responded with disbelief and comparisons to the “Sharknado” film series.

Dominic Cameratta, a local real estate developer, confirmed he filmed the clip from his back patio Wednesday morning when he saw something “flopping around” in his neighbor’s flooded yard.

I grew-up and lived in Florida off-and-on for 18 years. Been through 2 hurricanes and I can tell you they are no joke and extremely dangerous.

The recovery for them will be difficult.

There were sharks spotted swimming in the streets of Atlantic City when Hurricane Sandy flooded them.

Some people in Florida have also reported seeing alligators.
