Think you’re tired of all the rain?

It’s not every day you have to share a sidewalk with a catfish or avoid a group of moccasins swimming in the road!

Or wake up to a gator in your pool.

The historic nonstop rain led to overflowing ponds and lakes, bringing out amphibious animals from all over the Bay area.

The saturated ground even sent ants searching for higher ground.

We got a ton of great photos uploaded to our Bay News 9+ app and Facebook page. Here are a few of them.
