When a major hurricane like Milton floods a city, the streets in Fort Myers were flooded to the point where employees of the North Fort Myers Sanitation Department were driving on a road that was flooded when an alligator came out of the floodwater and bite the front tire of the auto.
Dave and Amanda who were inside the sanitation auto after they saw the alligator on the floodwater blocking the road when the alligator tried to bite the front tire as a way of saying "Leave my home alone. Get lost."
Dave and Amanda did manage to drive their sanitation auto out of the area quickly. The good news is that the tire did not get severe damage after the encounter with the animal.

after Gilbert in the 1980s, the pond where the crocs were over flowed and they went into the sea and then washed up at the edge of my property.
The little kids who lived in the area grabbed tree branches, and went shouting at the crocs and they took off.
If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it

I know what you mean dealing with animals like crocs going into flooded roads after a storm.

@jaylar It makes me laugh that children were never scared when they saw Casper the friendly ghost but adults were scared of him despite Casper being friendly.

@Deepizzaguy i live on the beach, facing the sea, the croc came onto my land and I was sort of scared, but the little kids weren't. They chased that croc back in the water

It sounds funny that an alligator did not like an auto trespassing on his property even though the road was flooded.

That is true since they were lucky not to be bitten by the alligator.

That is true since alligators do not like anyone cutting into their water.

I know what you mean since if I was an alligator and someone invaded my home, I would be mad as well.

The alligator truly was telling the truck to get out of his home.

That is one reaspn I do not like being in a flooded area since alligators as well as snakes are in the water.

An alligator on the road. That adds an extra danger to driving a car in flooded areas, and should dissuade most drivers from driving there. One should not attempt to drive through flooded areas, on flooded roads.

That is what the weather channel persons advise motorist never to drive an auto on flooded roads.
