Another Reason Florida Is The Most Bizarre Place In America ... Alligators Are Roaming Sewers

NY Post- New York might not have those infamous “alligators in the sewer” — but Florida has the real thing. A work crew in Oviedo, Florida proved the NYC urban legend was a Sunshine State reality after discovering an 5-foot gator residing in a sludge-filled pipe. Footage of the scaly subterranean terror is currently stirring up a crapstorm on the City of Oviedo City Administration Facebook page.

A public works team had dispatched a robot equipped with a camera to get to the root of why a cluster of craters kept appearing on the road above, according to a Jam Press report. The workers soon found something far more terrifying lurking beneath the surface. “On Friday’s inspection, as you’ll see in the video, they came across a five-foot alligator!” the city organization exclaimed in the now-viral post.

Florida seems like a wonderful place to live when you consider the sun, the tax relief, the leisure, the views, the golf, and the fact that you will never see snow again in your life. It also seems like hell on earth nearly every time you open up one of these wackjob type stories and it's almost always Florida. From everything involving Hanging Chads to alligators in the sewers ... the story always ends back up in Florida. 

There's a lot to unpack here. First off is the absolute horror of someone encountering an alligator in a sewer system would be absolutely all time. It's like the rumor of snakes in the toilet on steroids. Thank God it was a robot that interacted with this beast and not a human. Nowhere to go in a tunnel with an alligator on your tail sounds like hell. 

As far as how they got in these tunnels that's the big mystery to me. 

Others wondered how the gator managed to infiltrate the labyrinthine drainage system, which comprises 75 miles of underground pipes beneath the city.

75 MILES OF UNDERGROUND PIPES and these things somehow cracked into the system just roaming around. How ? How is that possible ? I'll tell you this. I will never ever know the answer to that scientifically, but my common sense just says this ... "FLORIDA" that's how. Nowhere else in the 46 continental United States and the 52 states total ... would there be alligators cracking into 75 mile pipes that have no easy way to get into. You ain't seeing this in Iowa folks .. .this is a Florida special. Content capital of the world.
