Florida authorities have identified a woman whose body was pulled from a waterway following an alligator attack.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said that 41-year-old Sabrina Peckham was the victim of Friday's attack involving a 13-foot alligator. Peckham was pulled from a canal in Largo after witnesses reported the gator had a corpse in its mouth.
The animal was "humanely killed" and pulled from the canal, authorities previously said.
The sheriff's office said in a statement on Sunday that the coroner's office will perform an autopsy to determine Peckham's official manner and cause of death. It is suspected that Peckham was killed by the gator, according to the agency.
Post-Tropical Cyclone Ophelia made landfall in North Carolina early Saturday morning as a strong tropical storm, battering the mid-Atlantic states with ferocious winds, heavy rain and a dangerous storm surge that led to widespread flooding across the region.
Large waves continue to batter the coast, and some areas have started to see strong winds and heavy rain again as the remnants of what was once Tropical Storm Ophelia continue to make their way from the mid-Atlantic into the Northeast, causing widespread flooding and tens of thousands of power outages along its journey.
High tide occurs around 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Manasquan, New Jersey, and FOX Weather meteorologist Jane Minar says waves are getting larger and water is flowing higher as conditions worsen.
"We have 9-12 foot breakers right now, and you can just see how choppy the seas are," Minar said. "Typically, on a nice summer day, this is where you have dozens of surfboards in the water. Not one today. And that's a smart decision because it is so dangerous. These waters, there is so much energy."
