South Carolina resident Tracie Byrd posted a video on Facebook and YouTube on Friday that shows an alligator casually strolling across the road near Myrtle Beach. Some sympathized with the lost gator while others felt they could not get away from the creature fast enough. Though you should steer clear of alligators, you're not in any immediate danger if you spot the scaly beasts. As experts like the humane gator-capturing nonprofit Texas Gator Squad said during Hurricane Harvey back in August 2017, alligators want to get away from storms just like humans do. "Alligators can not stay in fast moving floodwaters for long and seek slow water to ride out the storm," Gator Squad said in a Facebook post during Harvey.
