Only in Florida! Woman's shocking find lurking in backyard pool
Florida woman Lynn Tosi was not the only one who wanted to stay cool during the summer.
Tosi came home to an unwanted guest: a 3.5 m alligator that had busted through her screened-in porch and was vibing in her pool.
“I just kind of circled around, not knowing what I was going to do next. I sure wasn’t going outside,” Tossi said.
The crook-a-dile waddled through a nearby forest to try and find water, and struck gold when he found Tossi’s pool.
Without a care in the world, the insti-gator left a large hole in Tosi’s screened-in porch.
“He busted right through there, kind of like the Kool-Aid man, you know,” Tosi shared.
As the weather gets warmer, Alligators are becoming increasingly active, and Tosi, who has learned from this wild encounter, encouraged all homeowners to double-check their pools and lakes before diving in.
“The professional coming to take him out was actually pacing and got on the phone and was really surprised by what they were up against,” Tosi recalled.
In another image, the Alligator can be seen restrained, and they were lucky it didn’t snap.
This encounter is one of three reported in Valusia County over the last five days.
Trappers have reminded residents that the alligators are most active at dusk and dawn.
