other wild areas. >> chris, it's one thing to let the bears and the deer kind of run and give them space. but if you're talking about -- if you're looking at an alligator or a snake, what do people need to do? are there certain areas that they should high tail it out of there? >> well, i say give them a wide birth as well. the animals, just like the mammals, are going to be seeking higher ground. they are going to seek areas where they can sun themselves and get out of the floodwaters. some of them can seek refuge in debris and some will seek refuge on the levees again. in terms of snakes, you know, obviously the biggest threat is going to come from water mock ka sins. they like to get into wood piles and sheds. if you have a backyard that is going to flood, if your property is going to see flooding, be aware they will seek refuge in wood piles, debris piles.
