ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA.—Sure, lots of people in St. Augustine are picking up branches and leaves after Hurricane Matthew blew through town. But only a few are doing it surrounded by alligators. That was part of the unusual cleanup at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, where trees and limbs fell into alligator lagoons and crocodile pools, and enormous African storks were taken out of the bathrooms where they rode out the hurricane. All in all, the zoo — one of Florida’s oldest tourist attractions and the only place in the world that displays every species of crocodilian — fared well during the storm. There weren’t alligators running around.”
