They lay low especially in windblown areas...I have come to think they hunt on smell and territory....the first couple of weeks into the harvest you were hardpressed to find anything but the wind was really blowing..guess that was the after-effects of Katrina and then Ophelia...now they are out a little more and we are starting to get them...Now 243. might have more knowledge than I about the farms...but my understanding is the farms take them out when they are smaller...hides are nicer and easier to make products from...belts etc....so I wouldnt figure there would be alot of 9-10-11 footers that got loose during the storm..any big boys out there were there already know what I mean? So I dont think you'll have alot of human interaction in that area...dogs and cats should look out though...and little kids...but my guess is they made it to some outlaying swamps ...thats why they have been around for millions of years...

Andrew, here was the worst storm prior to Katrina in Florida, you would be hardpressed to find any traces of it now these years later...the rebuilding brought the economy back up quickly..but was costly with the new codes...thats why its important to check your policies...most will only give you a 25 % ordinance increase..
