A video claimed by its publishers on social media to show a "devastating hurricane that hit the UAE in recent days" has garnered thousands of shares. However, the truth is that this video, composed of several clips, showcases floods and storms that struck various countries such as Bangladesh, Brazil, Turkey, and Italy in the past months. The video includes many scenes from different locations showing heavy rains, floods sweeping away cars, strong winds, and waves crashing into homes.
The video has accumulated thousands of shares on social media since it began circulating on August 6, 2023, just after several areas in the UAE experienced heavy rain and strong winds, according to Emirati media sources.
