New Jersey So Flooded That a Shark Was Spotted Swimming Through a Suburban Neighborhood
"It's coming this way!" The post New Jersey So Flooded That a Shark Was Spotted Swimming Through a Suburban Neighborhood appeared first on Futurism .
A shark, not looking for trouble, was observed swimming through the streets of a New Jersey town during heavy flooding caused by a powerful nor'easter storm. The town, known as Surf City, found its suburban roads inundated with floodwaters. A local resident captured a video of the shark, showing it gliding through the water with its dorsal fin breaking the surface.
One person on the video remarked, "Is that a little shark? It's coming this way!" The shark was later seen swimming towards Barnegat Bay. Experts believe the shark to be a harmless smooth dogfish, a common species in those waters. The storm had wreaked havoc on the East Coast, causing widespread flooding and damage, particularly in New Jersey and New York where governors declared emergency declarations.
Despite the serious implications of the storm, the unexpected shark sighting brought a moment of levity to the situation.
