A video that includes two old clips of devastation caused by violent winds predates Hurricane Idalia that made landfall on Florida’s coast on Aug. 30, 2023.
“Category 4 Hurricane Idalia makes landfall in Florida bringing waves 12ft, tornado #CAT 4 hope it passes quickly” read a post sharing the compilation on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter (here).
A screenshot from the video of a tornado was also shared on Facebook with the same caption (here).
“Idalia, though being termed as a Category 4 hurricane, is actually no less than a Category 5 hurricane” read another post sharing the videos on Facebook (here).
Videos of a tornado levelling houses and a car being blown away predate Hurricane Idalia.
