A retired meteorologist sent an e-mail to Fox News this morning and he was warning about the poisonous snakes. He said that the flooding and winds wouldn't be what would necessarily cause the most casualties, it was the snakes. He said that the snakes will be everywhere as they try to escape the flood of salt water. Did I hear correctly?
I think that's certainly something to take into consideration, but I do think they are something folks can avoid. Sustained winds of 140-160 m.p.h. and a 30 foot storm surge are not.
Of course all these problems could be avoided if folks evacuated. The displaced snake problem may last for a while.
