Above is a link stating that "sharks flooded the streets in Miami" 
This is FAKE NEWS!
Posts similar to this have flooded media in the past weeks. People are taking advantage of this natural disaster and spreading fake news. People should not believe this, but the fact is that some people do. Viewers have a tendency to believe what they see and people to do not know any better believe that sharks could really reach land throughout the floods.
