Driver Films Suspected Shark 3 Miles Inland on Flooded Florida Street

Franshara Napoleon recorded a suspected shark moving through floodwater at Fort Pierce's 25th and Midway intersection while driving to pick up her daughter Monday afternoon.
A week of heavy rain and King Tide flooding across Florida created the conditions for marine life to reach streets, with Fort Pierce sitting on the coast near the St. Lucie River.
The sighting appeared unusually far inland — about 3 miles from the Intracoastal — though the river offers a possible route from coastal waters.
The animal's identity remains uncertain, with another theory suggesting it was a tarpon, a fish more commonly found in brackish water and more plausible that far inland.
