Natural disasters have a strong impact on wildlife.

This video shot in Florida (USA) is proof of that.

While this American state is affected by Hurricane Ian, a shark was seen in a flooded street in Fort Myers, relays BFMTV.

On the video, the animal appears disoriented.

The powerful currents led him to this submerged but too shallow street for him.

The video, posted on Wednesday, quickly went viral.

It already totals more than 11 million views in less than 24 hours.

Alligators, snakes and bears

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) had warned residents that during the hurricane they might see animals they don't normally encounter,

reports .

"You may be more likely to see alligators, snakes and bears, so remember to stay alert and give them space," the FWC said.



Some 2.6 million homes or businesses were still without power Thursday morning in Florida, out of a total of 11 million, after the passage of the hurricane.

Some cities have been "really devastated," said state governor Ron DeSantis.

Ian, downgraded to a tropical storm, continues its destructive path towards South Carolina.
