"Fake Hurricane Sandy photos flew around Twitter and Facebook on Monday, as users shared jaw-dropping images. Unfortunately, the race to post the most striking pics has most folks skipping the all-important fact check.\nWe've gathered up five \"Hurricane Sandy\" photographs that have spread on the social web, but weren't actually taken during the massive storm.\nHave you spotted a fake photograph? Tell us in the comments below.\n1. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier\n\nSoldiers weather hurricane conditions at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.\n\n\n \nThe moving photo purporting to show soldiers standing guard at the Arlington National Cemetery monument during Hurricane Sandy quickly spread on the social web. But the Old Guard pointed out that the photo was actually a shot taken in September.\nOn Facebook, the group shared a real image taken during the early hours of the storm.\n\n\n \nImages courtesy of U.S. Army\n2. Statue of Liberty Waves\nIs Lady Liberty about to float away?\n\n\n \nNot exactly \u2014 the above image is a wallpaper from the film The Day After Tomorrow.\n\n\n \n3. Clouds Over Manhattan\nSinister clouds could swallow up the Empire State Building. \n\n\n \nImage courtesy of istwitterwrong\nSort of true \u2014 only it happened more than a year ago. The original appeared on the Wall Street Journal in 2011.\n\n\n \nImage courtesy of istwitterwrong\n4. Clouds Over Lady Liberty\nThe Statue of Liberty once again looks to be in danger.\n\n\n \nThe striking image is a Photoshop job, combining a photo of the New York harbor with a 2004 shot taken by photographer Mike Hollingshead.\n5. Storm Over George Washington Bridge\nOminous clouds rolling in over the George Washington Bridge look hurricane-level frightening.\n\n\n \nImage courtesy of istwitterwrong\nScary, but actually a Getty stock photo from 2009.\n6. Flooded McDonald's \nVirginia Beach could face a McNugget shortage.\n\n\n \nDon't worry \u2014 Ronald McDonald is safe. The above photo is from a 2009 art installation.\n\n7. Shark Swims Through Streets of New Jersey \nAs if flooding weren't scary enough, according to Twitter, you also have to worry about sharks.\n\n\n \nWell, not so much. The rogue shark photo seems to pop up every time a major weather event happens, including in 2011 during Hurricane Irene.\nMore Coverage of Hurricane Sandy\n\n\nThe Aftermath of Superstorm Sandy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreezy Point, Queens\n\"Destruction after fire in Breezy Point, Queens.\" Via Official New York City Fire Department\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreezy Point, Queens\n\"Destruction after fire in Breezy Point, Queens.\"Via Official New York City Fire Department\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuantanamo Bay, Cuba\n\n\"Damage being repaired on the roof of the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Arts and Crafts Center after Hurricane Sandy made landfall.\"\nVia Joint Task Force Guantanamo Public Affairs/Sgt.
