Only in Florida! Woman's shocking find lurking in backyard pool
<p dir="ltr">Florida woman Lynn Tosi was not the only one who wanted to stay cool during the summer.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Tosi came home to an unwanted guest: a 3.5 m alligator that had busted through her screened-in porch and was vibing in her pool.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I just kind of circled around, not knowing what I was going to do next. I sure wasn’t going outside,” Tossi said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The crook-a-dile waddled through a nearby forest to try and find water, and struck gold when he found Tossi’s pool.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Without a care in the world, the insti-gator left a large hole in Tosi’s screened-in porch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“He busted right through there, kind of like the Kool-Aid man, you know,” Tosi shared.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the weather gets warmer, Alligators are becoming increasingly active, and Tosi, who has learned from this wild encounter, encouraged all homeowners to double-check their pools and lakes before diving in.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The professional coming to take him out was actually pacing and got on the phone and was really surprised by what they were up against,” Tosi recalled.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In another image, the Alligator can be seen restrained, and they were lucky it didn’t snap.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This encounter is one of three reported in Valusia County over the last five days.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Trappers have reminded residents that the alligators are most active at dusk and dawn.</p>
