Shocking video shows suspected shark swimming through flooded streets of coastal Florida city
A woman in Fort Pierce, Florida, filmed a large fish moving through a flooded street after heavy rain and high tides affected the area. She thought it was a shark, drawing attention to how flooding can bring aquatic wildlife into residential areas.
The sighting was at the intersection of 25th and Midway Street, about three miles from the Intracoastal Waterway, though the nearby St Lucie River could offer a route inland. The article says the animal may instead have been a tarpon, which is more commonly found in brackish water; its identity is not confirmed.
