This, but with a D.C. backdrop. (Via SyFy Channel)

How likely is it that Sharknado 3 will take place in D.C.? Very likely, according to Showbiz 411. The site reports that “sources say that Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, and co. are headed to the nation’s capital for a work out with their shiny, sharp toothed friends.”

Of course, this isn’t confirmed, so take it all with a Sharknado-sized grain of salt. Still, if true, it’s not an entire surprise. Last month, an online petition surfaced to get Sharknado 3 to take place in D.C.:

D.C. is the city on the Hill, the bastion of freedom, and the home of monuments to our nation’s great leaders such as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Bryce Harper, and Ben Ali. D.C. is a city filled with history, majesty, and democracy. Most importantly, D.C. is a city that deserves to be pounded relentlessly by an inexplicable tornado filled with sharks.

At the time of writing the petition only has a meager 158 signatures, which about the shark equivalent of a nurse shark—small, harmless, and non-threatening. You need about 1,000 signatures before you’re getting into bull shark territory, or even 5,000 for great white territory. Anyway, DCist reached out to SyFy for comment on the rumor, which, of course hasn’t been answered yet. We’ll let you know when it’s confirmed.
