Hurricanes are scary enough. One does not need the added scare factor of sharks. Hurricane Ian made landfall on the island of Cayo Costa, Florida, on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. The devastation was astronomical. Hurricane Ian was classified as a Category 4 hurricane and had winds of 150 mph and a minimum central pressure of 940 millibars.

While riding out the storm, one Florida man, Dominic Cameratta, wanted to capture a video of the rising waters. While doing so, he accidentally caught more than he was bargaining for: what appears to be a shark swimming in his neighbor’s backyard.Dominic spoke to [*People* magazine](https://people.com/human-interest/florida-man-films-possible-shark-in-neighbors-yard-amid-hurricane-ian-exclusive/) about the experience. He said, “I see this thing flopping around in there, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’ and I zoom in. The way it was swimming was scary. It was moving side to side.” Dominic thought it was a shark.
Dominic’s wife, Elizabeth, and daughter Ella agreed with his assessment of the situation. While they are no experts on marine life, they were eyewitnesses to the creature. Fifteen-year-old Ella said, “I was literally terrified.”
Friends of the Cameratta family agreed. Dominic said, “People were like, ‘That’s unbelievable. I think that was a shark!'” The video went viral after a friend of the family posted it on Twitter, as Dominic does not have social media.
Watch Dominic’s video to see if you agree or disagree that the creature in question is a shark.

I’d be more afraid of the alligators and water moccasins people saw swimming….on NPR, this couple was wading in chest deep water trying to get to their trailer and gave up because of the gators and snakes….
