An altered clip of lightning and thunder shared in June has been recirculated by users online saying it shows footage of Tropical Storm Hilary in August.
The posts include a video of bright strikes of lightning as seen from a car lot.
However, the clip was shared since at least June 22, two months prior to Storm Hilary in August.
The same clip can be seen on the user’s YouTube page in a June 22 video with an identical caption (here).
The lightning footage has been shared since at least June and predates Storm Hilary.
