Gators, coffins and snakes: What 60 inches of rain and a hurricane storm surge could dredge up "The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office has already warned that alligators will seek higher ground during flood events, tweeting photos of gators sheltering on a porch and under a car." [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk] Quoting: KickinIt I was on James Island off the coast of Charleston when Hugo hit. We were near Folly Beach which had houses complete picked up and moved into the center of streets by the oceanfront. Between us and Folly were multiple tiny islands that were alligator refuges. Alligators and snakes came in from the low country swamps and tore up some in-ground swimming pools. The one across the street from us had two gators that could not find the steps up from the pool right off, but eventually did and roamed around the street. My husband was with two other men that were clearing the street from trees that had fallen over so emergency vehicles could come through if they had to. One guy was so close to a gator that he almost sawed through its jaw. That gator ran so fast but it was a close call. I don't know what the wildlife is like near Houston but I sure hope people wading around in the water as we have seen through broadcasts are wearing very heavy boots. You have no idea what you're going to step on when the water's four feet high on your street. Quoting: -Haun- Not living near the ocean, nor having gators in MO, this article really freaked me out because it was something I hadn't considered. That pic of the gator under the car was super freaky! OMG, you could be trying to get in your car and it attacks from underneath! I think if I was there right now I'd be afraid to leave the house! And.... Quoting: KickinIt No shit! Copperheads were worse than the gators. Brazen little fuckers they be. Not scared of anything and would slither up breaks in the brickwork of the house to sun on our window sills. Bad juju.
