"where the hell is Coimbatore ?"

More importantly, how far is Coimbatore from Tennessee?

Apparently it's in India (Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India)

I was hiking in a local park here in Tennessee, when a snake raised it's head up and flared it's neck.

I got a good look at it. Turns out an Eastern Hognose Snake can flare it's neck like a cobra.

That sound you heard, was me screaming like a little girl. Snakes scare the hell out of me.

True story, I live in Washington State. Back in the early 1980's I was traveling back to the East Coast (New York) via automobile. So my first stop to take the dog for a walk, was in eastern Washington state.

So, as I walking the dog, I'm seeing all of the little signs (approx. 4" in. X maybe 5 or 6 " inches long.) approx 4 to 6 inches above the ground. Without reading them, at first I'm thinking they don't want you to walk your dog over here, so I go over there, same thing. So, I thinking, hey my dog has got to go hell with it. So I'm letting the dog do it's thing, and I decided to read the sign, expecting it to say something like don't walk your dog here.

What's the sign(s) really say, WATCH OUT FOR SIDE WINDER RATTLE SNAKES, I almost had a heart attack, picked up my dog, ran for the car, both eye's WIDE OPEN, looking for snakes.
