Sharks swimming the streets of New Orleans???

Sharks in New Orleans

Sharks were reported swimming in the streets and even the Superdome – a shelter of last resort for 20,000 people – was at risk from the rising waters.

Re: Sharks swimming the streets of New Orleans???

I did hear one story (early on) that they had spotted a small shark in the water..
At this point, the shark is the least of these people's worries, IMO

It's a creepy kind of snake.

Though I think all snakes are creepy, they scare me.

In the 3rd paragraph it says:

Sharks were reported swimming in the streets and even the Superdome – a shelter of last resort for 20,000 people – was at risk from the rising waters.

I agree that it's probably low on the priority list right now, but the image of that in my head also freaks me out!! Chat Icon

Ladies, let us not be so quick to believe everything we see/hear/read.

Yes, this is a tragedy of magnificent proportions, but there's also a lot of misinformation out there.

I don't think the point is that the sharks are necessarily dangerous, it's just that it has become soo horrible down there and that there is so much water that sharks or fish or whatever are on swimming down the streets!

well that is a given...that with water comes living things...

but i think that saying that sharks are out and about....was said for the shock value

ETA...and if so...it would have been said that these "sharks" are harmless....Chat Icon
