Old Videos Misrepresented as Visuals of Cyclone Arnab Debunked
Two videos circulating on social media claiming to show Cyclone Arnab's impact are false. One video, actually from July 2026, depicts Typhoon Bavi's effects on Rota Island in the Pacific. The other shows a tornado that struck Odisha's Mayurbhanj district in March 2026. Both videos have been verified through reverse image searches and official reports, confirming they are unrelated to Cyclone Arnab, which made landfall in Andhra Pradesh on 28 October 2026.
