Hurricane Florence, which hit the east coast of the USA in September 2018, seems to have brought more than wind and rain: sharks!
At least one photo that was posted on Facebook gives this impression:

in German the comment on the picture reads:
"Believe it or not, that's a shark on the freeway in New Bern, North Carolina #HurricaneFlorence"
“Hai… crazy shit!”
North Carolina is located directly on the east coast of the USA and is already struggling with major problems due to flooding, even if Florence is now “only” a tropical storm. But did Florence also bring sharks with her, as that fake weather map claims?

By the way, anyone can take such alleged screenshots themselves. In the above image, the reference on the page was unfairly blurred to make it look more real. You can create such images
on the “ Break your own News Now back to the shark in North Carolina.
“Be careful, there are sharks swimming in the street!”
Two things:
1. This isn't a recent photo
2. It's not real either
This photo first appeared in 2011 when Hurricane Irene hit Puerto Rico:

So we already know that it's not current, but is it real?
“Shark precipitation rate of several inches per hour!”
The picture above is already a few years old, but the shark in the picture is even older: it was photographed in 2003 . However, neither in Puerto Rico nor in the USA, but in South Africa! The photographer Michael Scholl took the sensational photo at the time:

Let's compare the sharks in the two pictures:

“These sharks really have no manners”
This means that it is not only an old photo, but also a fake one. But we are sure that, as in previous years, the photo will appear again during the next hurricane and be declared real. But, dear image forgers, remember:
