Florida ? As if a fourth straight day of rain from Tropical Storm Fay wasn’t enough, weary residents are now dealing with quintessentially Floridian fallout: alligators, snakes and other critters driven into flooded streets, backyards and doorsteps.

The storm has dumped more than 2 feet of rain along parts of Florida’s low-lying central Atlantic coast this week. By Thursday, Federal Emergency Management Agency workers had been dispatched to survey the hardest-hit areas.

Fay hovered for hours just off the Florida coast Thursday before creeping ashore again. At 10 p.m. CDT, the storm was about 25 miles west-northwest of Daytona Beach and was moving west at about 2 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
