For those of you who are unfamiliar with the situation, the state of Florida<\/a> has received what can only be described as a biblical amount of rain over the past week.<\/p>\n

Between the deluge and the King Tide affecting cities all along the Atlantic Coast of the peninsula, it’s been a soggy last couple of days in what they usually call the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

When the streets flood<\/a> in Florida, residents are bound to see some incredibly weird stuff that would make visitors question their sanity.<\/p>\n

But, for native Floridians, it’s just another day.<\/p>\n

It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility to see alligators and even fish treating residential roads as their own personal habitat, but a woman in Fort Pierce captured video of something that left even the most seasoned veteran of Florida floods scratching their heads in disbelief.<\/p>\n

Well, maybe, but we’ll get to that.<\/p>\n

Franshara Napoleon was picking up her daughter on Monday afternoon when she noticed “something moving in the water” at a flooded intersection at 25th and Midway Street.<\/p>\n

“I was on my way to pick my daughter up from school before the storm got worse. I noticed something moving in the water in the flooded street so I began recording and realized it was a shark,” Napoleon said. “I was in disbelief.”<\/p>\n

Fort Pierce is a coastal town about two hours north of Miami, so it makes sense with the flooding that a shark would find its way onto shore in some capacity, but looking at a map tells me this poor guy was a long way from home.<\/p>\n

The intersection of Midway and 25th street is a good three miles from the intracoastal, which could mean our toothy friend here had to do quite a bit of swimming to end up there.<\/p>\n

Then again, the St. Lucie River is right down the street, and that eventually leads to the intracoastal, so perhaps Mr. Shark took a trip up stream looking for the nearest McDonalds.<\/p>\n

There is a different theory, though, and that is that the shark in question wasn’t a shark at all, but instead was a tarpon.<\/p>\n

It checks out, since tarpon tend to hang out in brackish waters and it would be way more plausible to find one this far inland.<\/p>\n

Either way, kudos to Napoleon for having the presence of mind to whip her phone out and record this encounter.<\/p>\n
