A Facebook Live claiming to show a Double Tornado of 'Hurricane Irma' approaching Florida was actually fake news

White House director of social media Dan Scavino has joined those online sharing images mistaken for Hurricane Irma, but many people on social media are stepping into clear up the confusion.

Incorrect scientific information, fake Facebook lives, and old footage claiming to show Hurricance Irma have been circulating online for almost two weeks since the storm was first identified.


Some were clearly a hoax, while others appear to be based on genuine misunderstanding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency even created and tweeted their own 'rumor control' list to help people verify information.

This Facebook live video was actually fake or fake news posted by EBUZZ.



Social Media users have also been quick to debunk videos around the Hurricane Irma.


People have been sharing tips on coping with hurricane flooding, including advising people to store their valuables in their dis-washers in the belief such machines would be waterproof. Some residents directly affected by Irma shared the advice, but some social media users doubted its wisdom.
