With over 6 million people without power, Hurricane Sandy
still goes on terrorizing the northeast.
The social media world is exploding with news, photos, and reactions to
Sandy. But is it all true? What else are people doing with Sandy?
There have been several photos going around social media
sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, and some of them have not quite been
taken within the past few days. One of the very popular pictures going around
is one of some soldiers standing in Arlington cemetery in the pouring rain. The
picture was actually taken in September, so it’s about a month off.
Some other pictures
that have been going around are from movies or they were even completely
photoshopped. So next time you see a photo of a scuba diver in a subway
station, don’t take it too seriously.
Twitter users have made a lot of twitter
accounts just for Sandy as well. Most of them make crude jokes about the
hurricane instead of actual news. One account has over 200,000 followers.
Some are trying to make Hurricane Sandy a joke, even when
over 30
people have been reported dead. Sandy is now becoming one of the “big
ones”. It’s been confirmed to be the largest
hurricane to have formed in the Atlantic Basin.
