Syfy's Sharknado Storms Twitter With More Than 440,000 Tweets

Last week, the Syfy network aired the much-buzzed-about Sharknado, a ridiculous made-for-TV movie about a tornado of sharks that rains on Los Angeles, starring Tara Reid.

And the reaction on Twitter was equally ridiculous. A breakdown of the stats, below.

On Thursday, July 11, Sharknado was the #1 most social TV program in the U.S., beating out uber-popular Big Brother on CBS and MTV’s Girl Code.

As Twitter reported in a blog post recapping the phenomenon, Social Guide measured 318,232 tweets about the show during its broadcast, a full 17% of all the tweets sent about TV the night of July 11.
