What's in Your Garage?

Imagine coming home, opening the garage door and seeing a 9'-300 pound alligator. That's exactly what happened to Doug Dallmer in Fulshear, Texas yesterday. Now mind you, this isn't a pet that Mr. Dallmer had raised from birth and he can't even figure out how it got inside the garage.
Cameras roll as crews struggle to remove huge 300-pound alligator from Texas man's garage. KPRC's Brandon Walker reports.

That's scary! The most scary thing was finding a raccoon. Then my dad had to carefully shoo it out after the raccoon made a mess in the garage , knocked down boxes and what not

The gator swallowed the garage door opener? 
A Texas Tech fan playing a prank on a University of Florida fan?
Kidding, of course. I lived in Florida for seven years and never saw a gator in the wild. I really didn't know they migrated to Texas (Louisiana, I can see, but Texas is a big state with lots of dry land!). Looking at the map, though, Fulshear is near Houston, and they've had lots of rain lately, so some gators may have made their way from Louisiana or the Gulf.

@nanette64 -- to be fair, I was young (teenage) most of that time (the last two years was in the Navy), and my parents didn't let me go anywhere by myself where I was likely to run into one. And, I lived pretty citified the entire time (Daytona Beach and Jacksonville).

@nanette64 How cute! And surely it wasn't the size of an alligator

I'm glad I don't have a garage @Marilynda1225 considering all the different types of critters I've got here at my place. But an alligator? Oye Vay!
