Alligators are common in SC, so she should have known better, unless she was a tourist of recent immigrant Yankee....................

Lots of tourists in HH with no clue — and no interest (until now!) in the tourism industry there educating them.

Even if she was a recent Yankee -- when my dad was stationed in Florida when I was 3 my first thought was "there are alligators here." I was terrified. I checked our swimming pool every time I was going forna swim.

And boy, I was NOT a smart child. I can't imagine an adult who is stupid enough not to know what predators exist in their locale.
