Some people especially new Floridians may not realize that flooded streets can also be used by alligators and other creatures that normally reside in ponds and lakes.

Some people let kids use flooded streets to have fun and walk through water where they can't see their feet.

I hate to see anyone not expecting alligators to move around and alligators don't seem to have the brains to stay in a pond or lake.

Stay safe.

Has a gator ever attacked a fellow pedestrian in a flooded crosswalk?

I would worry less about gators and more about sewage, oil, and other chemicals in the storm water.
