Floridians are in the wet seat as Hurricane Fay left residents in Central Florida wrecked. The streets flooded and that’s the “good” news out of this soggy saga. The bad news is that alligators and snakes are swimming in the streets, creating a dangerous environment for people.

“We have removed alligators, we have removed snakes and we’ve removed all kinds of wildlife,” Brevard EOC Director Bob Lay told Local 6 News in Orlando. “Our animal services and enforcement officers have been doing this all over the county for the last three days.”

Although forecasters expected the storm to continue a “zigzag course” by hitting the state for a third week, along with Georgia, they didn’t think it would transform into a hurricane over the Atlantic.

No deaths have been reported but people have traded cars for canoes as the storm continues… Just hope they can dodge all the wild life and remember that while force majeure clauses in legal agreements protect homes and businesses after a hurricane, they don’t mean squat to the alligators so beware.
