Florida Woman Spots What Looks Like a SHARK Swimming Through Floodwaters!

Wellfleet shark rescue A blue shark stuck upside down in Wellfleet.

As if all the flooding across Florida wasn’t bad enough, imagine looking outside and seeing what appears to be a SHARK swimming down the street!

That’s exactly what happened to one Florida woman who spotted a large fish swimming through floodwaters and immediately thought it was a shark.

But before you start worrying about Jaws making an appearance in your neighborhood, it turns out the mystery creature was actually a tarpon, a large fish commonly found in Florida waters.

Still, seeing a massive fish swimming through a flooded area is probably not something you expect when you look out your window!
