JEFFERSON COUNTY, Texas — Gator Country has more than 350 alligators just on the outside part of its facility on FM 365 in Beaumont.
There's even more on the inside.
But it's flooding extensively.
KFDM/Fox 4 reporter James Ware was at Gator Country on Monday morning.
Owner Gary Saurage told him that more than a foot of water was inside parts of the building.
In 12 years at the FM 365 locations, Saurage has never seen flooding like this.
"We're less than a foot a foot from (water) going over the fences," Saurage said. "All of these are certified, high fences, but when it won't quit, it won't quit. We've worked around the clock and I don't know what else to do. We're truly tired. Everybody's at the end of it, man. We don't know what to do.
"I've never seen (the water) stay anywhere near this before. The staying power of this storm is just unbelievable."

Last I checked, one alligator per license holder per year in Texas. It has to be taken in to a checkpoint for tagging, etc. Any legal means.
Yum! Gator BBQ, gator tamales, gator & chips, gator quesadillas, fried gator...
We talked about this on Friday. “Floodigators”, coming soon to a SciFi channel near you.
Time to call Troy.
They’re here a bit early.
They weren’t supposed to be here in Dallas for the game against Michigan until later this week.
Choot’em Liz .
GATORNADO!........................
I realize this is no laughing matter-but I’ve got a visual of alligators escaping to freedom over flooded fences while hearing AC/DC’s “Jailbreak” in my head...
Thank you for the image. That sounds like a totally Texas attitude about the situation. Fregards from a Tennessee Freeper.
EEWWWW lol
Now, THAT is a mental image.
We’ll need more popcorn for the nursing home scene.
Quick! Call PETA to come save them.
Feed em to the Spotted Owls.
Send Forrest Gump down there to round them up.
Start a new product, Bubba Gator Bites.
I don’t think people have to worry much about those gators unless they go out of their way to harass the . There’s going to be so many drowned animals for them to feed off that these gators are going to be stuff to the gills if they are not just trying to survive.
Feed PETA to the GATERS.
