BAREFOOT BAY -- The Brevard County community of Barefoot Bay took substantial damage from Fay as it passed over the eastern side of the state Tuesday, with at least 51 homes damaged in a late afternoon tornado. Nine of those homes were declared uninhabitable. Barefoot Bay is the second-largest manufactured home community in the U.S.
The space coast community, which accounted for some of the worst damage reports in the early afternoon reports, also managed to account for one of the more interesting animal rescue stories to come from the day of landfall for fat. Residents of Barefoot bay reported a stray, wandering the neighborhood.
The stray was a 4-foot-long alligator.
Wildlife officers were dispatched to take care of the animal. They captured the reptile, and escorted it to a waterway that was safely distant from the community.
