Halo is wishing everyone in the path of the is safe and reminds us to leave displaced wildlife alone. Alligators can not stay in fast moving floodwaters for long and seek slow water to ride out the storm. If you see a gator during the storm, as long as its not in a road or knocking on your door leave it be until the storm passes. If you need assistance or see an animal emergency call TPWD at 281-842-8100. #gator #hurricaneharvey #alligator #pinktape #gatorChris #gatorsquad #halotheblindgator #halo #hurricane #wildlife #flood #godblesstexas
