Look at the size of this shark.
An Australian journalist reporting on flooding caused by Cyclone Debbie ended up discovering a dead bull shark, apparently caught up in the storm.
WIN News reporter Philip Calder told news.com.au that he was out and about in Ayr to capture footage of the wrecked areas of Queensland when he found the dead shark lying in a puddle.

"He must've gotten caught in a torrent and confused, beached himself on the side of the road," he said.
"We were pretty amazed, we were turning up to shoot a flooding road, we weren't expecting to see wildlife as well."
He described the giant fish as the 'talk of the town', saying that many locals were leaving their houses to witness it in the flesh.

Of course, the shark's circumstances have been compared to Syfy's Sharknado films - some of the greatest in recent time - which tell the story of shark's inflicting terror on cities hit by cyclones.

An Irish woman living in Queensland named Lisa Mulvihill recently wrote in the Irish Times of her experience.
"I've barely slept since Cyclone Debbie hit my home on Airlie Beach in northern Queensland on Monday night," she wrote.
"I've been through a few cyclones in my 14 years here, including Cyclone Yasi in 2011 which left us without power for a few days, but it was nothing like this. We are on cyclone watch every year, but Debbie was unprecedentedly worse than expected. It was the scariest experience of my life."
