“Visuals of the severity of Cyclone Yaas in the states of Odisha and West Bengal”
What FACTLY found
The photos and videos shared in the post are old and unrelated to cyclone Yaas. The first photo shows the debris created by Cyclone Mekunu in Oman on 26 May 2018. The video in the second post shows the visuals of gusty winds hitting Uruguay in 2016. The last video was created using the CGI simulation in 2018. These photo and videos have nothing to do with the current cyclone Yaas
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
