TV interview interrupted by snake

A Volusia County, Fla., woman said a snake that apparently floated in with floodwaters from Tropical Storm Fay nearby bit her during a TV interview.

Lori Hark said she was speaking with WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla., inside her flooded home when she and the news crew suddenly found themselves fleeing from a snake in the hallway, WKMG-TV reported Wednesday.

A snake about (4 feet long) just skidded right in front of me and I screamed, Hark said. It went straight up about two feet. So, yeah, pretty much everything in there is going to stay.

Hark said floodwaters have continued to rise in her neighborhood while floods in other areas have subsided.

Our furniture is destroyed, Hark said. We have leather furniture so it just soaked the water all night long. The television and radio (were put up) but you can't stop the water from coming up.

Some homeowners said the water level inside their houses had reached 2 inches Tuesday.
