Recent flooding in some parts of Florida brought a deluge of water in residential streets. A woman named Franshara Napoleon was stopped at a red light, when she looked out of her passenger-side window and saw what appeared to be a shark swimming in the flooded street. ABC News is one of many news outlets that picked up her video.

Many people in the comments section chime in to note that the animal is likely not a shark but a large tarpon.
