In the video, we hear a man throw, in English: “It's a race to cross the line. Which will arrive first at the stop sign? It is a race to cross the line. I bet on gray. "

The video is old and at least May 2016. It was published on YouTube by America's Funniest Home Videos account.
Strong winds affected the Breton departments which had, like many others, been placed on orange alert this Sunday. Flights have been canceled at Brest Airport. 90,000 homes were still without electricity Monday noon. Météo France also issued a “flood waves” alert for the entire coast.
If you doubt the authenticity of a video, here are some tips for checking images:
- see if the video corresponds to the legend (does the visible place correspond to that identified in legend? Do we see protagonists? Who are they?);
- listen to the video: what language is spoken there?
- pay attention to details (weather, car models, uniforms, building architecture, etc.).
You can also use the free InVid tool to search for reverse images from video.
