  • Was a photo of three women wading knee-high through water on a flooded highway taken in Aba, a city in Nigeria’s Abia state? That’s the claim in a Facebook post published in Nigeria in September 2019 and shared more than 1,800 times. In the photo , a submerged car and highway signposts can be seen behind the three women. The caption reads: This aba abia state. Hurricane in Texas, US A reverse image search reveals the photo was originally posted on the website ThinkProgress in August 2017. It is in an article about Hurricane Harvey , a heavy storm that hit the US state of Texas on 25 August 2017. The storm affected 13 million people in the southern US. Here the caption reads : Evacuees wade down a flooded section of Interstate 610 as floodwaters from tropical storm Harvey rise... in Houston, a city in Texas. The photo was taken by David Phillip . It shows a devastating flood, but not in Nigeria. – Motunrayo Joel (en)
