No, There Aren’t Sharks in Hurricane Florence
I once sat and watched "Sharknado" that was an hour and a half of my life I can never get back. Sorry if you're a "Sharknado" fan, I swear I thought it was supposed to be a comedy. When I saw friends on my timeline sharing fake news I started to laugh thinking they knew for sure it was a joke, up until I saw other people chime in with their concerns. A fake headline read "Florence Now Contains Sharks". This viral photo has sent several people into a panic. I don't know if sharks get super powers if they're inside a hurricane, but I can reassure you that there aren't any Sharknado's heading to the Carolina's.
