      Video of Storm In Karnataka Passed Off As Cyclone Asani In AP, Odisha

      A video of plastic chairs and tables blown away by strong winds in Hubbali, Karnataka last week has been falsely shared on social media claiming it shows Cyclone Asani in Odisha.

      BOOM found that the video is neither from Odisha nor from coastal Andhra Pradesh. They video is reportedly from Hubbali, Karnataka and was shot on May 5, 2022.

      Cyclone Asani formed at least four days ago in the Bay of Bengal which caused heavy rainfall with moderate winds in parts of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal.

      The 44 seconds video captured on a mobile camera shows rainfall with strong winds blow away plastic chairs, tables and cutlery items from a roadside restaurant.

      The video has been captioned on Twitter as "#CycloneAsani #అసనితుఫాన్ Cylclone effect on Gopalpur In Orissa. Now it has changed its direction. A severe cyclone in the Bay of Bengal changed the direction of 'Asani'. A typhoon is expected to cross the coast between North Coast & Odisha."
