Found this, about that:

About half way through the articles or so.

You might have seen a viral, harrowing Facebook ?live? video around showing what appears to be a human chain trying to rescue passengers from a flipped-over bus, in the middle of a hurricane. Like this one:

Spoiler alert: the video isn?t live, and its not from Irma ? its an old video, being streamed on a loop by hoaxters looking to go viral. And it was spread, among other places, by a formerly-verified Facebook page for one Carlos Trewher. It has millions of views across Facebook, on Trewher?s now-deleted stream and on the others like the one we took that screengrab from, that are popping up in its wake.

CNN dug into this particular fake video and couldn?t verify its original source. There are videos of the same incident on social media connecting it to Cyclone Vardah in late 2016.
