Meghan Markle beams as she and Prince Harry attend Tyler Perry's star-studded birthday bash with Oprah and best friend Gayle King

 Fake photos of Hurricane Sandy 2012

 

Deja vu

There’s the reused image, like this one, which is in fact a promotional still taken from the 2004 action film The Day After Tomorrow.

Cut-and-paste

 

Or there’s the doctored image – here a supercell thunderstorm in Nebraska has been merged with one of the Statue of Liberty. (Tip: check lighting in foreground and background)

Storm warning 

 

… or this real-life reused image, which appeared in the Wall Street Journal in April 2011 showing a thunderstorm in New York City through a tinted window.

Look closer 

 

Fake natural-disaster images have gone viral before. Pictures taken in 2002 resurfaced during the 2004 tsunami in South Asia. One giveaway? People are smiling in this image.

More sharks 

 

A double photo-fake whammy here: not only is the shark pasted into the flooded street, this image also appeared after Hurricane Irene hit Puerto Rico in August 2011.

Lone shark 

 

Sharks have featured heavily in faked photos. This fearsome fin supposedly swimming through the streets of Brigantine, New Jersey, was pasted into the image.
