WATCH: Shark swimming on the streets of Florida due to Hurricane Ian
The aftermath of the hurricane is ongoing...
Hurricanes are naturally disastrous and not something that we have had to deal with in our country.
But it is a natural disaster that many people in the USA are brought up learning to be prepared for.
The thing is how prepared can you actually ever be for something that knocks your whole world upside down?
Even if you are a fanatical prepper, nature never really comes with a manual, so the outcomes can't really be foreseen.
In saying that we feel for the people who have been affected by the recent Hurricane Ian that stormed its way through Florida.
Sadly the death toll is still rising. And with the flooding and power outages and feelings of distress, we cannot say that we don't empathise with the people who have been affected.
"Over 81 people are confirmed dead and that toll is expected to rise. Rescue crews working brutal shifts – sometimes 20 hours long – are still combing through the wreckage, and flooding continues in many parts of the state." (The Guardian)
On some level, the wounds of our own damages are still quite fresh. The aftermath of the KZN Floods has many of us still trying to get back up on our feet.

On that note, we were surprised if not shocked of a recent discovery on the flooded streets of Fort Myer, Florida.
A video shows what looks like a shark swimming in the deep watered streets.
Yes, a shark.
The video was taken by a Brad Habuda and was posted on Twitter by Colin McCarthy, who specialises in posting content about extreme weather reporting.
As much as there has been some conjecture regarding the truth behind this video, McCarthy reassures everyone that it is in fact real.
