Hurricane Harvey has done significant damage to the Texas coast, ripping apart buildings in the Corpus Christi area and dumping near-record rainfall on Houston.
Incredible images have come out of the area, which has resulted in several fake photos being circulated online.
Here are five fake photos making the rounds on social media:
Believe it or not? Don’t. This photo has been shared during every major flood for the last several years. It apparently first surfaced during Hurricane Irene.
While the two alligator images are real – the photos were not taken during Hurricane Harvey. A local sheriff’s office shared the images as a warning to residents, and the images were then redistributed as photos taken during Harvey.
This photoshopped photo actually shows LaGuardia Airport and was part of a 2013 article about airports facing an increasing threat of rising seas.
A fake photo that purportedly shows the “Cajun Navy” responding to Houston is circulating on Twitter. The volunteers are already in Houston, but the photo of the convoy is from 2016.
An image that purportedly shows a group of Black Lives Matter blocking emergency crews in Houston is fake. The image is from a July 2016 CNN video.
Buzz killers. Next they’re going to tell us Sharknado isn’t real.
Still funny after all these years
Did you see the picture of the dog who absconded with an entire bag of dog food ? LOOter ,DOOG

The left was also shopping an Obama pic of him serving food to people in line claiming they were flood victims, when in fact it was from a Thanksgiving event years ago.
That’s the one I was referring. Fake
"Now, I'd eat it before Moochie sees how much gravy I put on your potatoes."
That lady looks pretty well dressed after just going through a massive hurricane??
It’d be more believable if the sharks have lasers on their heads.
#7 was a promotional picture for the movie “ Mall Cop - Part III”
I see that ABC News and the local NBC station in Mobile AL asked if they could use the picture of the alligator in the street.
I also note that the PD doesn’t say they’re not current pictures.
This is how you get Fake News.
ROFLMAO! Thanks for the reminder. Beer dude BUMP!
Sharknado 5 isn’t real... I wish the heck they’d make it though.
Say it ain’t so! Sharknado rocks!
All that’s missing is some BEACHFRONT PROPERTY FOR SALE signs. In northern Houston.
