The giant storm adjusts it's course toward Louisiana in time for the 12th anniversary of Katrina
There has been an influx of dramatic photos since Hurricane Harvey started wreaking havoc on Houston and other parts of Texas at the weekend.
But as images of destruction and devastation surfaced, so too did the hoax photos that claimed to be from the tropical storm, the MailOnline reported.
A doctored image of a shark swimming down a highway started doing the rounds on Twitter before it was picked up by Fox News' Jesse Watters on Monday night.
An influx of hoax photos have surfaced ever since Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc on Houston at the weekend, including this shot of a shark swimming on a highway.
The Fox host was speaking on his program about the images he had seen online in the wake of the hurricane when he mentioned the highway shark.
"I've seen some amazing things out there just looking at television. Alligators on people's back door steps. I saw a shark on a highway swimming in the water.
He added that it was "like Sharknado".
The shark photo is a long debunked fake image that seems to surface every time a flood occurs.
He also made mention of a photo of a 10-foot alligator that supposedly appeared on someone's doorstep.
The alligator image is not technically fake given it is from a different flood that occurred back in April elsewhere in Houston.

Another image also being circulated on social media shows airplanes being completely submerged in flood waters, but the photo is not from the Houston floods. The image in the tweet above is photoshopped.
The image depicts what LaGuardia International Airport in New York would look like at high tide with 12 feet of sea level rise due to climate change. The doctored photo is also at least four years old.
Another image showing a man holding a refrigerator with two small children inside of it in flood waters has also seemingly gone viral. But the captivating photo was not taken this year during the storm, but instead when Greenspoint, Texas flooded in 2016.
Social media users are also sharing outdated images from past flood rescues, but claiming it happened in Houston. The image in the tweet above appears to show volunteers out of Louisiana deploying to help with relief. The image is real, but it is a year old.
