Hurricane Milton has put the state of Florida on high alert, and in its wake, severe flooding has been reported in several cities. Social media is flooded with images showcasing the damage caused by the heavy rains and strong winds, and Disney World Orlando is no exception, with reports of damage to some of its parks.
At Disney World, fallen trees and some areas of the parks have been waterlogged due to the intense rainfall brought by Hurricane Milton. However, some circulating images show sections of the park entirely submerged in water. These photos, though, appear to be fake, as many online suggest they were generated by artificial intelligence.
So far, park authorities have neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of these images. They have simply kept the public informed about the temporary closure of the parks during Hurricane Milton to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of guests.
