Social media posts appeared to show Dodger Stadium flooded by Tropical Storm Hilary - but that wasn't the case. Instead, it was likely an optical illusion.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are clearing up some confusion after Tropical Storm Hilary moved through the region.
Social media users may have noticed Dodger Stadium was trending online Sunday over photos and videos that made people think the parking lot and surrounding area had flooded. But that wasn't the case.The Dodgers posted on social media in response to the misrepresentation, writing: "Dodger Stadium trending? We get it. It looks beautiful this morning.
Video of rides at Universal Studios posted with fake captions also tried to trick social media users. Another video on social media tried to fool people into believing the Metro Wilshire/Vermont station was flooded. L.A. Metro pointed out the video was fake. "Take a look at the source," North said. "If a verified news source is providing images, it's much more likely to be valid than if somebody with a Twitter account, or somebody with an Instagram account put something up."
