Around 2.1 million acres of floodplain were developed between 2001 and 2019, new #AGUpubs research reports. Roughly half of that development was in Florida.

@djspydermann Gonna be real with you, it wasn't gators after this. It was snakes. Turns out, racers are as fast in water as they are on land. They didn't seem too happy with the flooding.
@noahacacias Two of three were returned to street, and hopefully back to the storm drain they came from. One I lost, and I'm pretty sure it made it to the backyard. Still don't know where it went.
@Caleb_Mathis Contrary to what people are suggesting, I did not eat them. I herded two back to the street, and they took off towards the storm drain (where I assume they came from). Another one I tried to get with a bucket, but it escaped into my backyard. Plenty of water back there for now.
@WhenOnKStreet If by body of water you mean storm drain, then hopefully. I herded two of them back out to road where they came from. Nearest lake is 5 blocks away.
