  • As cyclone Fengal continues to affect Sri Lanka, certain areas of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are experiencing turbulent seas, high winds, and flooding. Amid these weather events, a video has gone viral on social media, featuring showing flooding on streets, with the claim that it is from Marina Beach in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. What we found: We divided the video into multiple screenshots and ran a Google reverse image search on some of them. We came across the same video on Newsflare, an online news video community, which noted "Saudi Arabia: Heavy rain has flooded the streets of Jeddah" (sic.) We, then, ran a relevant keyword search and found the same video on MSN, which also mentioned that the video was from Jeddah. Similarly, we found the video on a YouTube account called, "@yahyafarsi1430" from 3 September. It noted, "A shot from Jeddah after heavy rains on Monday night, September 2nd" (sic.) A notification of Saudi Press Agency's website confirmed that Jeddah met with heavy rainfall on 2 September. About Cyclone Fengal: It formed in the Bay of Bengal in late November and strengthened as it approached the Indian shore. It struck the coast between Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, causing intense and flooding. Chennai experienced major upheavals, such as waterlogging and road blockages, as the cyclone resulted in at least 19 fatalities, with 5 of those occurring in Chennai, reported the New Indian Express and the Economic Times. Conclusion: A video from Jeddah showing intense flooding is being shared as one from Chennai. (Not convinced of a post or information you came across online and want it verified?
