  • Fact Check: Video of storm aftermath in Scotland FALSELY shared as Iceland quakes The phenomenon is caused when a shallow root system meets strong winds. It has nothing to do with earthquakes. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check The video shows the aftermath of Storm Babet in Scotland. An astounding 800 earthquakes shook Iceland in under 14 hours on November 10, following which a state of emergency was declared in the country. Amid this, a video went viral on social media showing a patch of forest seemingly floating. Allegedly this was a consequence of the recent earthquakes in Iceland. An X user shared the video and wrote, "The woods were moving like the sea this morning. Is this another consequence of earthquakes? Filmed by David Nugent-Malone when he was walking his dog in Grindavik." India Today Fact Check, however, found that the viral video was unrelated to the earthquakes in Iceland. Our Probe Reverse searching the keyframes of the viral video led us to The Telegraph's YouTube channel, where it was posted on October 21, 2023. The caption and description accompanying the video clarified that it showed a patch of a forest floor in Scotland appearing to breathe after Storm Babet winds lifted trees’ roots. The video description further explained the phenomenon, attributing it to a shallow root system meeting strong winds, creating the illusion of the earth breathing. It noted that David Nugent-Malone, a 38-year-old poet and short story writer from Strathblane in Stirlingshire, recorded the video while walking his dog, Jake, in Mugdock, Scotland. The BBC and The Guardian shared and reported the viral video on October 21, attributing it to the aftermath of Storm Babet. This intense extratropical cyclone affected large parts of northern and western Europe. Thus, the video showing the aftermath of Storm Babet in Scotland is being falsely shared as footage of the aftermath of earthquakes in Iceland.
