Rumours of a real life Sharknado in Hurricane Florence made people’s jaws drop – the only 11 reactions you need

There’s nothing funny about Hurricane Florence – or any natural disaster – but amidst the mayhem, the destruction of property, the disruption of livelihoods and the fear, some people have decided to use it to give themselves and others a bit of a laugh. You are probably aware of the film phenomenon that is Sharknado, which involves the premise that sharks can be carried inland on a tornado and attack people in their homes. I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this.

These 11 tweets document the spread of the rumour that Florence had somehow transported sharks.
