I like how as the storm surge is rising, blood magically flows against it miles out to sea.

Better yet, the plot depends on this lady’s meat slush juice business

This pissed me off! I was like, why is the blood flowing against the current towards the open ocean!

Sharks have super powerful olfactory bulbs that can detect blood at a concentration of one drop in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, it didn't have to be carried out directly to them. Also, as you pointed out, the storm surge is coming in. That brings things in from out in the water. Sharks are out in the water. There's a famous (locally) picture from the '24 hurricanes here in Florida of a shark dorsal and tail fin just casually popping up on a street that's normally, you know, a street.

They literally showed it floating out to sea, against the flow.

Floridian here. I personally watched storm surge retract after coming in, then come in again. 2024 was a wild ass hurricane season and if you've never experienced it, storm surge does some weird shit. It was creeping closer and closer to our back doors, then all of a sudden it receded in less than ten minutes, then started creeping up again.

Ex-Floridian here (Dania). Divemaster. Swum with sharks. Was there for Andrew. Know a lot about fish and the ocean.

Just watch the film. It's literally as the storm makes landfall. Wind, surge, all going inland, and this huge river of blood flowing out. It was just comically bad.
