Bull Shark Spotted Swimming Through Flooded Streets in Florida After Heavy RainfallNext

Following record rainfall and severe flooding in Florida, a video showing a shark swimming through flooded streets in Fort Pierce has gone viral. Experts note that bull sharks, common in Florida, can tolerate freshwater and may be pushed inland during extreme flooding. The flooding has caused road closures, stranded vehicles, and disrupted daily life across several counties, prompting emergency responses and recovery efforts.
