Maybe it's because of our desire for attention, or because of Instagram, but this recycling and forging of storm porn has been a thing for awhile. This one that went around during Isaac has been circling the webs since 2005, according to the Florida station Bay News 9.

So you don't look like that tool who Facebook likes something so obviously not real, we are here to help you sift through the fiction.
