Powerful Atlantic cyclone Irma caused terrible destruction on the coast of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico in the United States. However jokers on the Internet, apparently, thought it was not enough fearfully. They launched a duck about what a hurricane raises from Florida’s coastal waters sharks and carries ferocious predators to many kilometers, so Americans should be wary of flying carnivorous fish.
Obviously, comedians on the Web took this idea from television 5 Shark Tornado franchises films. The duck was quickly snapped up by various English-language sites, including those who pretend to be serious news resources. Despite the absurdity of this information, many believed in it. Americans. Hundreds of residents of the southeast coast of the United States called police and wildlife officials asking what to do if a shark is brought to their backyard. Many real journalists were even forced to make a statement that there really aren’t any “shark tornadoes,” and be wary citizens are only worth the bad weather.

By the way, shortly before that, another joker wrote in the World the web that in order to confront the hurricane it is necessary to get weapons and start shooting at a tropical cyclone. Immediately showed up “official rebuttals” who stated that doing so in no under no circumstances, since intense air masses will throw the bullets back, and firing can be injured yourself. However, so far no cases have been recorded to someone really fired in IRMA from rifles or pistols and was more wounded by the retaliatory “rifle strike” of the hurricane.
As for the predators brought by the disaster, this information not as far from the truth as one might think. True speech it’s still not about sharks. The sensational hurricane “Harvey” caused significant flood in southeast Texas and many casualties the elements were frightened by the appearance of alligators. Reptiles swam right to the houses of the Americans and even tried to climb inside. Fortunately, no one from the teeth of uninvited reptiles Suffered.
