As Tropical storm Hermine prepares to make landfall in Florida, some residents may have more than one reason to batten down the hatches ― alligators.

Video appears to show a gator swimming down a flooded street Wednesday in Bradenton.

The long dark figure appeared to be cruising through an intersection southwest of Tampa, as a Spanish-speaking driver panicked.

“This was close to my house! Be careful with the kids,” wrote the woman who uploaded the video to her store’s Facebook page.

The grainy video can’t be independently confirmed, but  another witness in the area claims to have seen something similar. William Pitts describes the alligator he spotted as being 4-feet long.

“Oh well it Florida,” he summed up the sighting.

The Pasco Sheriff’s Office has shared photos on Facebook of a gator spotted under a car Wednesday as deputies performed flood checks in nearby Port Richie.

“Gators seem to love Pasco rain,” they write.

Alligators aren’t the only creatures people in flood zones need to watch out for. Snakes and ants are known to take refuge in nearby homes after getting flooded out of their abodes.

The strengthening tropical storm is expected to hit Florida’s Gulf Coast Thursday night before moving across the eastern coast.

Weather forecasters suspect that it could be the state’s first hurricane to make landfall since Hurricane Wilma in 2005, Weather.com reports.
