It sound’s like a cheesy movie you’d find on the Sci-Fi network in the middle of summer during Shark Week, but oh no, this is actually a real thing!
SHARKANO!
It honestly sounds like the writers responsible for the insanely stupid Sharknato movies got bored and decided to torture us again with a spin-off franchise. Sharknato‘s plot, in the most easy way possible to explain is simply: A town is ravaged by supernatural Mega-Tornados that sucked up a butt-load of sharks in the ocean and while destroying the town the way tornados like to do, they also flung super angry, now homeless, sharks into the town. Ridiculousness ensues. *SPOILERS*
Ending with the leading man, Ian Ziering (of the riveting Beverly Hills 90210 fame), dives into a massive attacking shark’s mouth with a chainsaw. Onlookers, obviously thinking, “WTF dude?” were stunned, and shocked up until they saw something moving inside the shark’s body. Next thing you know the dude hits the chainsaw ripcord and cut’s himself out of the shark’s abdomen.
If you think it ends there, boy do I have a treat for you.
He then reaches back inside the hole in the shark’s abdomen that he just used the chainsaw to cut himself out of, and pulls out an unconscious girl, who is also somehow still alive. Then they went ahead and made like 4 more of these ridiculous movies.
As it seems, life is apparently imitating art because Sharkano is the real deal.
.🦈 You’ve heard of sharknado, now get ready for sharkcano.

The Kavachi Volcano in the Solomon Islands is home to two species of sharks. It’s also one of the most active submarine volcanoes in the Pacific, seen here erupting underwater by #Landsat 9.https://t.co/OoQU5hGWXQ pic.twitter.com/vEdRypzlgi

Two seperate species of sharks made home to this underwater Volcano, rightfully nicknamed, “Shakano.” What even makes this story sound like even more of a nightmare is that the surrounding waters are super heated and acidic. It’s also one of the most active volcanos in the Pacific.
“Superheated, acidic water usually contain particulate matter, volcanic rock fragments, and sulfur,” NASA’s Earth Observatory said.
The thought of a volcanic eruption is already terrifying enough, but to add super heated acidic water, lava, ash, rock debris, along with angry mutant sharks from Hell raining down on me…”Yeah, that’s gonna be no for me, dawg”. -Randy Jackson, American Idol.
However, there really is no threat from the volcano or the sharks. The sharks aren’t dummies, they swam away because they have crazy sensors all over their body and can sense changes to their environment, so they get the hell out of dodge.
I wouldn’t even be mad if Hollywood turned this into another “so ridiculous that it’s actually kind of good” movie. I’d probably even watch it. It’s not like it would take much to top any of the Sharknato’s, 3-Headed Shark, or even Sharktopus (Yeah, it’s exactly what you think it is).
