The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

Example:
Factcheck This: Birds don't exist

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.

I believe this claim is true but I'm not sure how verifiable it is. The source that posted it on Bluesky is unrecognizable and I don't know how it could be verified, but a lot of major news outlets including CBS, Skynews and NBC used the footage in their articles about the hurricane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=kqoknbjCQFM#:~:text=Florida%20man%20kayaks%20in%20his,personalities%20that%20matter%20to%20Canadians.
