The internet fell for a misleading video of Dodger Stadium flooding during Tropical Storm Hilary

Dodger Stadium appears to be just fine after Tropical Storm Hilary passed through.

Obviously, the situation in southern California is a pretty scary one right now. Even with Hurricane Hilary being downgraded to a tropical storm, the area has still seen some pretty devastating weather over the last few days.

There was a magnitude-5.1 earthquake Sunday that hit parts of southern California, along with some pretty bad aftershocks that came with it. The thing that we’re hearing about most today, though, is the flooding that has come along with the tropical storm.

There are parts of California that are just covered in water right now. Things have slowed down a bit, but even the remnants of the hurricane have brought some pretty dangerous flooding conditions to the area. 

For much of Monday, people thought that those dangerous flooding conditions were also impacting Dodger Stadium. There was a photo and a video circulating around the internet that seemed to indicate that it was true. It also didn’t help that the storm was essentially directly over the stadium, per the Los Angeles Times.

But, contrary to popular belief, it seems that Dodger Stadium isn’t actually flooded. In fact, it looks just fine.
