The 2019 evacuation map that's still circulating as 'current' in my town
My neighbor Linda showed me a map on Facebook claiming our whole county in Gaston County was under evacuation order from the river flooding. I remembered the crest numbers were different, so I checked the NWS site and the map was literally from 2019, same date stamp and everything. It got 400 shares in our local group before someone noticed the old watermark. Has anyone else seen old storm maps resurface and people just eat it up without checking the date?

Damn, that's wild. Honestly I used to be one of those people who'd share storm stuff without double checking, but seeing how fast that old map spread kinda flipped a switch for me. Now I always zoom in on the date stamp before I hit share.
