As Hurricane Sandy clobbered the the most populated region of the United States, many people took to social media and the Internet to receive and circulate information about what experts called a 100-year storm.
As is typically the case with natural disasters -- especially in this digital age -- viral photos quickly put a face on the catastrophe. However, it turns out many of the most popular images pinballing around the Internet during the storm were either fake or outdated. Even major media outlets got duped.
Here are the Top 5 fake photos that got passed around the Internet during Sandy's wrath:
1.) Ominous Clouds Looming Over Statue of Liberty (above)
As Gawker pointed out, "everyone from the the New York Times' Jodi Kantor to the New Yorker's David Grann to Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczynski" tweeted this fake photo of what looks to be a lost still from the movie Independence Day. However, the image was a Photoshop job that combined a photo of the New York harbor with a 2004 image of a Nebraska super cell taken by Mike Hollingshead.

2.) Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (above)
Real photo, wrong day.
NPR tweeted and posted this photo of three soldiers getting pelted with rain as they guarded the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arlington National Cemetery, calling it "perhaps one of the more stunning pictures we've come across today."
But the photo was actually taken in September. NPR later updated their blog, disclosing that the photo was "not taken during Sandy." NPR credited the Old Guard's Twitter account the and following tweet for helping with the correction: "Thanks for posting the pic about @The_Old_Guard, but that is not from today. This one is

."
The Washington Post, the Daily Beast, Talking Points Memo, and other media outlets also posted the photo, followed by later updates and/or corrections. Compliments of the Old Guard's Facebook page, here's a real image of a soldier standing guard during Sandy.

3.) Sinister Clouds Threaten to Swallow Empire State Building (above)
Again, real photo, wrong day. This one was all over Twitter, Facebook and beyond. The original image appeared in the Wall Street Journal in 2011.

4.) Waves Crashing On Statue of Liberty (above)
Another quick and easy Photoshop job. The original is wallpaper from the disaster **** movie The Day After Tomorrow.

5.) Dark Clouds Rolling Over the George Washington Bridge (above)
With its dark, eerie clouds and identifiable NYC landmark, this image has all the right ingredients for a Sandy pic, except for the fact that it's a Getty stock photo from 2009.

Here is a photo that is FAKE:
Notice NO earth patch from where the tree base is attached to the ground. You can even see the base of the articial tree in the foreground. These are scenery props placed in these positions. I wonder how many more photos were fake for the planned Samhain wiccan holiday ritual. You do realize Hurricane Sandy was planned for the night of the full moon. This was a Satanic ritual. There is no subway or bus service, how can we go anywhere to see what lies were told. I live in Queens, NY. No flooding, no loss of electricity, not much rain. Heck, the basement of my building floods when there is a heavy rainfal
