The Florida Department of Health is warning residents to be aware of wildlife snakes, alligators, and other animals that may have been ‘displaced’ during Hurricane Irma’s destructive path.

“After storms, be alert to wildlife —snakes, alligators, etc. may have been displaced as a result of strong winds or rain. #Irma,” the department tweeted on Monday, Sept. 11.
