A dogfish shark was filmed swimming in the flooded streets of Surf City, New Jersey, over the weekend, after a powerful nor'easter storm hit the area, bringing widespread flooding. A local resident captured the unusual sight in Surf City, sounding frightened as the fish approached her home. The video quickly went viral, sparking amazement online. A shark expert reassured concerns, stating that the dogfish shark, common in the area, does not have sharp teeth. Dr. Greg Skomal, a great white shark expert from the Massachusetts Marine Department, noted that dogfish sharks are considered 'harmless' to humans. The shark was seen swimming near the resident's home on Long Beach Island, as Barnegat Bay overflowed in Surf City, which was flooded with about four feet of water. The nor'easter caused extensive flooding along the US East Coast, with strong winds reaching up to 70 miles per hour, leaving thousands of homes without power.
