Tropical Storm Florence made landfall Friday, bringing powerful storm surges and catastrophic flooding with it. But in addition to the destruction, the storm could also bring a wave of venomous snakes. The displacement could cause the reptiles to wind up in the floodwaters, he said. However, if bitten by a snake swept into the floodwaters, Bowman said to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. While some area hospitals may be closed due to the storm, the Conway Medical Center is open, The Sun News reported.
